  1. I agree and here's a couple of points. 1) I'm Australian but went to college in America (let 80s). I used to feel embarrassed how well informed my college friends were when it came to how well they understood HOW America FUNCTIONED. I did engineering but a bunch of my friends were pre-law and they used to drag me into various conversations. I got an interesting education in arguing points about the US Constitution. What I remember more than anything else was how well informed they were about their own country and that was irrespective if they were pre-law or anything else. The reason was they had all done CIVICS in high school. 2) Because its surprised me how that's changed in the last 20+ years - I ASKED PEOPLE WHY. The answer I was told was George Bush and Dick Cheney defunded Civics in the early 2000s. 3) SO YOU KNOW - As an outsider who has seen the difference between having and not having an effective civics education I am a advocate of Australia doing an Australian version of the old US civics program. To put that in perspective if you asked the average Australia about copying anything from the US Education system you'd get laughed at or told to FK-OFF and yet I'm saying we should do our own version of this one thing.

  2. ​ @dustinsindledecker154  Agreed. And that's what blows my mind. When I was in college in America, Americans were PROUD that they knew how there country functioned. I'm being honest when I say I used to feel embarrassed that I didn't know how Australia worked as well as they knew how America worked. I'm being honest when I say I want Australia to have its version of the old American civics class BECAUSE I know what the benefits are.

  3.  @jonathanchang1574  That's a great point and it goes right to the core of when ideology overrides common sense.
