Children today face a double whammy when it comes to civic education: Their schools often teach bad curricula and very little civics, and their parents did not learn much, either.

About 4 out of 5 parents with a college degree did not have to take any civics to graduate. That means today’s parents have received a very meager amount of civics that they can share with their children. Therefore, restoring civic health to our country means engaging parents as well as their children.
