Civics Education in America: How Are We Teaching the American Story?
Chairman Jack Miller and president Hans Zeiger of the Jack Miller Center For Teaching America's Founding Principles and History join Andrew Walworth and RealClear Education editor Nathan Harden on today's RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast. They discuss current trends in civics education, including a look at recently released National Assessment of Educational Progress scores for eighth graders, which reveal a decline in both civics and history. The Jack Miller Center has called the latest test scores "a national wake-up call" that points to the need for improved teaching of citizenship in our nation's schools and universities.
