Lawmakers call for 'civility training' in public schools

Dozens of House lawmakers from both parties have proposed a resolution that calls on the government to recognize July 12 as a National Day of Civility, and says people are becoming so mean that the U.S. should consider civility training in schools.

“[C]ivility training in schools, a national campaign to promote civility, a conscious public effort to practice civility, and a National Day of Civility may combat the threats posed by increasing incivility and distrust in our institutions,” the resolution stated.
