in 1974 I was a high school sophomore taking Civics (yes, high school students once had to be literate in how our system works). Talk about a profound, formative life event. I have been an activist for various causes ever since. Thanks for your good work Mike!

1976 for me, and we couldn't graduate without a year long Government class. Been active since.

Actually, you can’t graduate from a California high school without passing government/civics still. I note this solely as it’s a misnomer out there I hear often.

Yes! Civics in high school excepted me, too.
