But are they really supporting America?

25% of adults surveyed believe that social media platforms are constrained from deplatforming someone under 1st Amend "Free Speech" guarantees.
That's incorrect. Social media are businesses & are not obligated to respect free speech.

One-third of American adults cannot name the 3 branches of government.
Only 7% can name the 5 rights of the 1st Amendment.
So how can they understand injustice when they don't fully understand what justice is supposed to be.

My suspicion: there is a swath of people who read at the hs grad or college grad levels who simply choose to be ignorant or injustices.
Testable hypothesis: does reading level correlate to understanding injustices in society?
Pick 20 injustices in US society. Figure the top three to six facts around each injustice.
Test people on these facts and correlate to reading levels.

A lot of Gerrymandering talk recently.
What is it and why should you care?
Gerrymandering is redrawing maps in a way which changes election outcomes.
In a democracy we should want elections to reflect the public's opinions.
Gerrymandering can make government ignore some voters in favor of others

We appreciate that you're out there trying to solve the civics crisis.

Indulge me. My chicken, Pickles, and I are trying TikTok videos as a form of civics education to get people engaged ahead of the midterms. If your on TikTok, take a look? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gaPFsC/
I tried this out yesterday & y’all seemed to like it, so here’s another one: As a former federal prosecutor I share my insight into ICE’s attempt to disappear from the spotlight & why that’s so danger...

People are asking "What's the point of a Constitution if it's not working as intended?"...
The Constitution is the guide. It's up to the leaders AND people of the republic to have the information & integrity to enforce it.
It works if you make your voice heard!

Elections, under the Constitution, are one of the few things which are controlled by the states.
It's essential for democracy that the people are able to freely choose their representatives.
State control of elections should not be partisan, it's foundational to our nation.

President Trump's latest voting executive order is another attempt to take over elections — power he doesn’t have. But it turns out, there are effective countermoves blunting this and other efforts to undermine elections.

Plutarch (Greek & Roman historian) described how the Spartans limited civic education to maintain social control over the young:
"Reading & writing they gave them, just enough to serve their turn; their chief care was to make them good subjects, & to teach them to endure pain & conquer in battle."

Civics has been severely underfunded for 50 years.
It was thought to be more important to win the Cold War through technology.
We have 50 years of voters who don't understand their government.
This needs fixing!

Because of the lack of civics education in schools, mainly public education, most people don't know how government is supposed to work. The behaviours become normal for anyone who doesn't know or hasn't seen the difference. Educate. People need to learn to know what they should expect.

Serve on city, county or school board commissions! The planning and zoning commissions, for example, advise elected officials on managing growth, development and land use. Search for "Boards and Commissions" and your state county, or city name. #civics
