That's like trying to promote the learning of oceanography after the iceberg's hit the ship.

After the Titanic went down, they certainly got better at weather and collision avoidance. Not to mention metallurgy...

The first step will be to assign everyone to an ethical, common sense race.

That is a great article Jolly posted, albeit too long.
What is interesting is how the future of civics education will be determined by the political party in power. That, as intensely intellectual as the debate is, will end up with teaching nothing at all, which has become the status quo.

The Left will win the football game, unless something huge and unexpected happens causing people to pull together for the future.

And it really doesn't have to be that way. Much of Civics can be taught without politics, if people will simply teach Civics in a factual historical context...A happened because of B, which caused C. Even idiots on both sides of the political spectrum out to be able to agree on 90% of the facts.
