Description

In 2010, six organizations set out to redefine civics education. What they brought about is known as “New Civics,” “Action Civics,” “Civic Engagement,” or “Project-Based Civics.” Dr. Lindsay’s important new study examines the origins, nature, and educational effects of this movement in civic education and demonstrates that it has a clear progressive bias, teaches our kids to protest, and leads to civic ignorance. In part III, of our America's History of Hope series, Dr. Lindsay will discuss this important study and provide a roadmap for putting Americans back on a path toward civic knowledge.
