Once upon a time, it used to be a given that America’s public schools taught the next generation of leaders — the students — why this country is so great and what makes it so different from all others.

Thankfully, under President Donald Trump, the schools will start teaching just that once again.
“We’ve partnered with the Department of Education and 40 national civics groups to launch the America250 Civics Education Coalition,” said Erika Donalds, chair of Education Opportunity at America First Policy Institute.
