A lack of consensus about the substance of history and civics-what and how to teach-has been a major obstacle to maintaining excellence.
For many decades, we have neglected civics and history, and we now have a citizenry and electorate who are poorly prepared to understand, appreciate, and use our form of government and civic life.Īt the federal level, we spend approximately $50 per student per year on STEM fields and approximately $0.05 per student per year on civics. After years of polarization, the United States is highly divided, and there is widespread loss of confidence in our very form of government and civic order.
Our constitutional democracy is in peril.
