Florida high school students will likely be required to take a civics course in order to graduate. Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was behind the push to mandate that Florida students have a basic civics education, and a bill mandating civics education is advancing through the state government.
According to a report by the Tampa Bay Times, Florida high school students will be required to take a civics course in order to qualify for graduation. The course will teach students about the values that have shaped American political history.
The bipartisan bill advanced in the Florida house on Thursday. Bill co-sponsor Representative Ben Diamond, a Democrat, argued that the course will give students the tools to fully participate in America’s democracy. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also announced this week that he ordered Florida’s education commissioner to mandate civics courses at public high schools around the state.

ReplyDeleteBack in the 80's, we had to take Civics in 9th grade here in Wicomico County. Do they not have to do that now?
ReplyDeleteLarry Himes was my civics teacher in 9th grade. Love that guy to death! I was in his class the day that President Reagan was shot. Mr. Himes and I don't always see eye to eye politically but I still smile fondly when thinking about his class. I'd like to give him credit for making me more aware the world.
