We’re excited to introduce a revamped State Policy Menu designed to streamline policymakers’ access to K–12 civic education policy recommendations. This new concise format allows for quick comprehension of complex policy issues, making it easier to capture lawmakers’ attention and spark meaningful dialogue.
This report was created as a product of members of the CivxNow and Listen First coalitions. These insights should be interpreted as a general collective consensus of our learning, not the individual views of a person nor the stance of their organization.
As Congress grapples with the federal government’s policies towards artificial intelligence (AI), we must invest in teachers’ capacity to develop students’ media literacy skills across the curriculum.
In order to achieve our goals, CivxNow advocates for bipartisan federal and state legislation that support implementation of state and local policies that reimagine and deliver relevant, inclusive, and engaging K-12 civic learning, both in- and out-of-school. Our coalition champions research-based policies that have attracted bipartisan support across red, blue, and purple states alike.
Key findings include: emphasizing civics and providing it more funding is a winning issue across the political spectrum; civic education is viewed as important by consensus majorities across the three samples (overall voters, GOP primary voters, and K–12 parents); and the Civics Secures Democracy (CSD) Act has solid support from all types of voters.
