I'm not too sure about this new civics learning act. It seems like it might be a good idea, but I'm not convinced it will actually make a difference. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. #uncertain #HR8402 #CivicsLearningAct I'm worried about how this could impact our education system in the short term.
