But over the last few years, spurred on by political polarization and a steep decline in public understanding, civics education is seeing a nation-wide resurgence, as school leaders, educators, and parents recognize the urgency of teaching young people how America works--especially young people who have been marginalized from the political system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut this isn't your grandmother's civics.
