I was taught American Civics in Junior High, 7th Grade. They were serious about it. American History taught at the same time, which made sense. The next year it was World History. They leave so much out of these text books, though. They are scrubbed clean. They are not truth
I wouldn't call myself ignorant, kek! But as a junior high student, I could discern between the teachers who cared about their subjects and those who didn't. I had very few who were trying to actually teach us. Most were just wanting to get through the day and get their pay. I was fortunate to have a few who taught outside the book and made things interesting. You might call them conspiracy theorists today.
I would be happy to see American Civics brought back. Kids have no clue what our rights are, how the govt works, what checks and balances are
Without this; we will just continue to degenerate
We are not a Democracy and many have no clue what a democracy actually is

By design. Easier to control ignorant people.
