...disturbed that you would argue colleges should not require civics courses as part of the Core. Texas is the only state in the country that mandates college graduates from public institutions complete six credit-hours in American Government to graduate, and as an instructor in this field, I can attest to the level of ignorance rampant in my classroom among freshmen and sophomores...
