DiGiacomo, Daniela K.; Han, Jaeyun; Trapp, Sara; Kahloon, Sanaa – Democracy & Education, 2022
High-quality civic learning opportunities remain the exception, rather than the norm, in public schools across the country.

The task of English language and literacy education to define citizenship, and shape citizens, has rarely been more compelling or more challenging than it is today. Globally and nationally, our civic response to COVID-19 has catapulted us into a world where our rights as and responsibilities as citizens are being fundamentally re-negotiated at the…

Raadschelders, Jos C. N.; Chitiga, Miriam M. – Journal of Public Affairs Education, 2021
In this symposium, attention is primarily focused on ethics education in public administration programs in colleges and universities.

In December 2020, the Illinois State Board of Education adopted new "Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards" that are focused on identity politics, teaching students to find bias around them, and instructing students on how to resist the "systems of oppression" in which they allegedly live.
