In 2024, fewer than one in four US youth felt like they belonged to a group that expresses itself politically, and 44 percent of young nonvoters were disinterested or disliked the candidates.

Charlie Thompson – Learning Policy Institute, 2023
Civics education continues to gain national importance, especially in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and with recent debates about the teaching of history that addresses the legacy of racism and discrimination in the United States.

Yadav, Aman; Heath, Marie K. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
The unexamined power and prejudice embedded within technologies and societies has led to direct harm to individuals of color, minoritized groups, and the US ideal of a multi-racial democracy. Rather than an accident of AI or a "glitch" of the system, these inequities highlight the invisible and oppressive architecture -- a "New Jim…

Sally K. Carter – Schools: Studies in Education, 2024
The current education system is failing our children. Yet the system shifts the blame as well as the search for possible solutions to teachers and learners, avoiding responsibility for its role in the existing oppressive structures. In turn, it fails to address the needs of a vastly diverse student population. This article looks at the development…

DiGiacomo, Daniela K.; Han, Jaeyun; Trapp, Sara; Kahloon, Sanaa – Democracy & Education, 2022
High-quality civic learning opportunities remain the exception, rather than the norm, in public schools across the country.

Lesley Farrell; Tricia Eadie; Larissa McLean Davies; Carmel Sandiford – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2022
