Yes. And No.
I want  youth to know & be more aware of civics. But I do not trust teachers to teach it. Curriculum is devised by Lefties & taught but Leftists beholden to Democrat teachers' unions. Some of the very posts herein illustrate that a Leftists bent will be endemic to any "teaching".
"Teaching" kids civics will simply be a Democrat recruiting tool in a state that is already one-party.

What is TRULY going on in this story is tht mono-power Dems are so desirous of a patina of 'legitimacy" tht they want to be able to say that more than 30% turnout elected them. They know it is not fun to have won 55% of 30%. They want to be REAL winners, not just empty winners.

Civics first should be taught as patriotism (apolitical) FIRST. Stand the hell up for the national anthem. Three branches of government. The ENTIRETY of government is specified by and should be run congruent to, ONLY 2 DOCUMENTS: The Decl of Inde and the Const. THAT is civics 101. That's all kids need in the beginning.
