Civic Learning Partnership News
Civic Movement Gains Ground
Americans know surprisingly little about their own government. Most can’t name its three branches, and few can name a single U.S. Supreme Court justice.
Not so for a group of Butte County fifth graders.
These civic-minded students began their school day with a rundown of current news. They answered trivia about U.S. Supreme Court justices. And they capped off their year by staging a mock trial at the Chico courthouse alongside a local judge, prosecutor, defense attorney and bailiff.
