Yes: topic here is the narrowness of the new academic "civics centers" which are supposed to be more ideologically neutral and openminded than the humanities departments presently are. And look: there's nothing wrong with Straussans, "pro-America Historians" etc, but the result has been an organization which is screening out any 18 year old who doesn't *already* picture himself or herself in this way. The civics-center leaders would surely say that, at the end of the day they're actually *MORE* philosophically open-minded than the normal academic humanities departments which gradually force everyone into the Intersectionalist ideological straightjacket, whereas the civics centers genuinely embrace a culture of debate. And probably this is right. But it doesnt matter, the outward appearance is still very important because it determines which prospective students you're drawing in. Any prospective who wants something that looks like it supports "trait openness" is going to the conventional English Department, and they won't pick up on the fact that the paradigm there is rather closeminded until theyre in Year 4, if not grad school. And if you're not getting the trait-openness students, then there's really only so much you can do with that "culture of debate."

I agree with you, the scare quotes were meant to be negative. The current batch of civic centers seems to be an employment programs for Straussians, overtly “pro-America” historians, and maybe a few isolated superstars like James Hankins. Leads to a very dogmatic tone.

Top of the form "cross community" interschool quizzes and in my school, first year civics classes as well. With my historian hat on, I suspect future historians of the Troubles will focus on the slow pent-up desire for "normality".
I'm sorry but why am i only learning about ruc discos in the 80s at the age of 38

As America celebrates 250 years, I am saddened by how many casually call it the worst place on earth. America is not perfect, but millions have sacrificed to come here because of the freedoms and opportunities it offers. Patriotism is not ignoring our flaws it is appreciating our blessings while working to improve them. Perhaps what we need most is a renewed lesson in civics, history, and gratitude. AW

No we don’t want it. It’s unconstitutional. Brush up on your civics

When did the schools stop teaching basic civics? Reese made a good point today. Local Connecticut "news" media has absolutely failed the public by not explaining to people that these anti-ICE laws are unconstitutional and unenforceable.

"do you ever think critically about the consequences of universal suffrage?" Yes, all the time, I think there should be civics and literacy tests for voting, rural areas and evangelicals should be disenfranchised, and anyone who participated in Jan 6 shouldn't be allowed to vote

Politicians shouldn’t be treating used Civics as their cash cows. Every MP who says they care about affordability has a simple way to prove it: Pass Bill C-285. Good on MP Andrew Lawton for introducing this tax cut! westernstandard.news/news/mp…

Always fun to host Speaker @MiltonDickMP for a Parliament in Schools visit. Today @charismullenmp joined us at Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School in Springfield Lakes, where spoke to Year 6 students. Great discussion about our national symbols, democracy and civics 🇦🇺

In a country like Kenya, where elections have such a significant impact on society, giving young people a practical lesson in democratic processes can be one of the most valuable civics lessons they receive.

The upside of course is that children aren't really as stupid as folks assume, and they'll pretty trivially figure out workarounds. Meanwhile, they'll get a good lesson in civics.
