History Education, Civics, and Student Advocacy - Seeking Common Ground

Guests representing diverse political perspectives find some common ground on these controversial questions: - What does high-quality history and civics education look like in a democratic society? - What should teachers, particularly those who teach history and civics, be teaching our children? - Do new state laws, like HB3979 in Texas and SB623 in Tennessee, that restrict what teachers can talk about with their students strengthen or weaken our democracy?   - Should students learn about civics by solving real problems and working with government representatives?   Guests include: - Ace Parsi, Director of Outreach and Engagement for Educating for American Democracy - Amber Northern, Senior Vice President for Research at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute - Danny Diaz, Director of UCLA's History-Geography Project and a former high school history teacher
