Today is the second part in our series about the state of civic education in the US. We talk about how teachers choose what to teach, so-called "divisive concepts laws," and how we can approach disagreements without falling prey to "division actors."

This episode features 

• Louise Dube, Executive Director of iCivics and member of the Implementation Consortium at Educating for American Democracy
• Justin Reich, Director at MIT Teaching Systems Lab and host of the TeachLab podcast
• CherylAnne Amendola,  Department Chair and teacher at Montclair Kimberly Academy and host of the podcast Teaching History Her Way
