Require public school to teach high-schoolers to research and vote.
American children are not prepared to think for themselves when it comes to electing leaders in government. Kids should leave High school knowing how to vote and how to research a canidate. We need to do much better at teaching how government works and how important a vote is. Especially teach how bad communism is and how it can take hold and destroy a country; how many times it hasn’t worked, and what happens to the countries people.
I have no idea what other words i can add here to make my point.

If we move education of our children to the state level, there’s more control of the curriculum. Incentivize homeschooling and/or community teaching. Or support more private schooling that will give children, youth and young adults opportunities for learning skills for life.

Intriguing and I like it. Forty some years ago you had to pass a US Constitution class to graduate high school anyway. Playing devil’s advocate… my only question… how to you trust the instructor to teach the facts and keep their political views out of the equation?
Agreed! I also would like to see cameras in every classroom that parents can access.
