Where are the mandatory classes on USGOV, civics, USHIST-THE VOTE? We ldo a huge disservice to high school grads, leaving uneducated with no understanding of how their own government works.

I don't even want to include parents because so many of them are tragically disinformed and only serve to spread the usual rightwing tropes they glimmer onto by being brainwashed at Fauxnews.
