Problems in Civics Education

The nation's report card in civics is just in. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in civics education has just been released. The news is not good.

We are not doing a good job of educating our students for their role as citizens. And the scores are not getting better.

Take a look at the report card and the sample questions, and you'll see what I mean. We need to do much better.
