Massachusetts Legislature Considering Requiring Civics in Schools

Civics education would become more prominent in public schools across Massachusetts, under a bill filed Tuesday night by negotiators.

All six House and Senate conference committee members signed off on the bill (S 2631), which could surface for votes during sessions scheduled for Wednesday.

The bill states that in all public schools, the “history of the United States of America and social science, including civics, shall be taught as required subjects to promote civic service and a greater knowledge thereof and to prepare students, morally and intellectually, for the duties of citizenship.”

Teaching Civics again would be a good thing if they used textbooks rom before 1990.
