Episode description

In this episode, the hosts discuss civic education, voting, and being a good citizen. What does learning about citizenship, government, and voting look like for students in U.S. schools? What is taught well, what is taught badly, and what isn't taught at all? Kate learned about a new tool for remote learning, and Chelsea learned some really weird stuff about cults and turkeys. Don't forget to vote!
