Coop LWV Hosts Talk on Need for Civics Education

COOPERSTOWN—On Thursday evening, November 6 at 5:30 p.m., the League of Women Voters of the Cooperstown Area welcomes Lindsey Cormack, PhD, author of “How to Raise a Citizen (And why it’s up to you to do it)”. Cormack will discuss the importance of civics and how to help young people understand, appreciate, and participate in the democratic process at Cooperstown Coworks.

Cormack discovered in her research that the numbers don’t lie. Studies continue to reveal how little Americans know about their government. Civics instruction receives the lowest number of K-12 classroom hours out of any subject.
