A new report from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) sheds light on the state of K-12 civic education in the US, revealing both encouraging trends and concerning gaps in students' understanding of American history, government, and civic values. The report's findings will likely spark a national conversation about the importance of civic education in shaping the next generation of American leaders and citizens. With the US marking a pivotal milestone in its history, this report offers a timely examination of the nation's civic education landscape.
