Civics education is truly a critical piece of participation in democracy. But many argue that civics has taken a back seat, and traditional ways of teaching civics have not done enough to get students and the electorate excited about civics. Dr. Emma Humphries joins us to share more about why the nationwide organization iCivics is dedicated to not only bringing back civics in classrooms, but also making them more educational and fun for people of all ages.
