I am just curious to know if public schools are still teaching civics? Do they still teach civics in your public school?
It’s been replaced by un-civics.
nope
No but there ARE three chapters devoted to the “Progressive Movement” in the American History Textbooks
I, as a literature teacher, am teaching Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which always asks the question “Where does tyranny begin?” and “What should be done about it?”
My niece is a Senior. I took a gander at her heavy book on Government class....
it was an Obama-leftist love tome
Yes, they are teaching about the four branches of government;
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Regulatory
It’s all like that, but slipping her a copy of “Road to Serfdom” won’t hurt.
I’m still mocked by a few teachers as the guy who taught “The Fountainhead” but my kids all got it. Its about a “ME”topia and not a Utopia.
Depends on what you call “Civics”...
I’m 53, almost 54 (Dec 24, but don’t don’t tell anybody) and civics was never taught to me or my cohorts
Died out in the 1960’s, I imagine. It’s a shame to, as we should have learned it.
No. In fact.....my kids have run for student council and won various positions these past 10 years. Now, they don’t have them. It was a great tool for civics in our home.
Can’t have that ‘competition stuff’, donchyano. Where everyone ‘gets a trophy’.
What, exactly, are civics?
No but there ARE three chapters devoted to the “Progressive Movement” in the American History Textbooks”
Which one of the movements? America ca 1856 or Russia ca 1930?
Or now, but they just call it that...These people today just have nihilism dressed up in mock Marxist/Reparation theology with a dash of bs.
What the hell is civics. I’m 68 and we never had it and I went to the best schools in Upstate NY....which are cra* now.
When I was in highschool in the sixties we had a class called *civics*, we had a civics book which explains how the government works, you know like the three branches of government and what they do. We also sometimes had discussions of current events in class.
The regulatory system is part of the executive branch. Not that any chief executive, or anyone at all really, controls it. Not that they’d want too, anyway.
What are you people talking about? Honda still makes Civics. s/
Yes, Civics and Economics, making a 98. I love that class.
Apparently, you can get all the way through law school with out getting it.
