Show Notes

Recorded in 2025, host Jim Falk speaks with John Meko, President of Founding Forward and David Bobb, President and CEO of the Bill of Rights Institute about the troubling state of civic education in America, where a recent survey found 70% of registered voters fail a basic civics test. Their conversation ranges from what genuine civic responsibility looks like beyond voting to how social media echo chambers and a generation-long shift away from history and civics in schools have eroded Americans' understanding of self-government.
