Civics Education Study

Help the LWV save American Democracy

The League of Women Voters (LWV) was founded with the purposes of defending voting rights and educating voters believing that an informed citizenry is essential for successful democracy. Kentucky League members will begin evaluating civics education in Kentucky schools this fall. Each Kentucky League will discuss and attempt to find consensus on 10 study questions that will establish League expectations for civics education. This first phase of the study asks about the role of Schools in Civic Education and what Kentucky students should be learning. It is important that all League members (who possibly can) participate in making the decisions. Please contact your League for times and places. The discussion is part of the study process.
