This article explores the decline of civic education in the United States and the polarization surrounding the topic. It suggests a student-centered approach to civic education that focuses on historic struggles for constitutional rights and encourages critical evaluation of these rights in today's society. The article emphasizes the importance of connecting constitutional concepts to students' daily lives and highlights Supreme Court cases involving students' rights as engaging topics for civic education. It argues that teaching students about their constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment right to free speech, can foster respect for free expression and democratic values. The article also proposes the formation of a presidential commission on civic education to initiate widespread reform, emphasizing the need for bipartisan collaboration and the involvement of high-profile individuals from both parties.
