Why Civics Education Needs Social Justice
From an early age, each of us must navigate numerous social institutions, many of which were designed to perpetuate centuries-old inequities.

Civics education needs a critical social justice lens so people can fulfill the potential of a multiracial and inclusive democracy.

This is an essential reason why inclusive education is crucial to our basic self-interests and our collective success.
