The defining point to national change that is in the best interest of our people always has been Education.
I believe that the United States should reform government’s involvement in education, to mandate the teaching of proper Political Studies. This would be a high school level mandatory two year course that involves Constitutional Law, Political Sociology, Political Science, and U.S. Electoral process in Congressional and Presidential Elections. The goal is to allow students too properly, and independently, identify and develop their own political identity by being free to study political ideology. To research and essay on any political ideology and philosophies as they choose.
