COVER STORY: Civics lessons: What it means to be a citizen
Since civics was dropped from school curriculums, awareness of our constitutional government (and our participation in it) has gone downhill. Only about 25% of Americans can name the three branches of government, 10% think that Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court, and only 30% of millennials believe that it’s “essential to live in a democracy.”
Mo Rocca talks with Supreme Court Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch about promoting civics education. Rocca also talks with Eric Liu, who created Citizen University to help cultivate the values of good citizenship; and with Chicago social studies teacher Mary Ellen Daneels, who uses what passes for politics these days as object lessons in how not to be a good citizen.
