Do you believe in a renewed focus on civics in public schools? |

In April, 2021, WJCC Schools Social Studies Coordinator, Steve Legawiec, shared with us the latest initiatives on teaching civics in our local schools. The 2020 elections were a major civics lesson for a lot of folks who do not follow politics carefully. As civic education declines, civil discourse declines. Yet, 5 cents per student is spent on civic education in the U.S. while $50/student is devoted to STEM (Science, Technology. Engineering, Math) instruction. |
