American Civics Renewal Act

This bill would create an 8-member congressional Commission on American Civics Renewal, with members appointed by leaders of the Senate and House and their education committees. The commission would review civics education from elementary school through adult learning, evaluate federal civics programs, and gather teaching practices. It would develop a proposed civics curriculum for elementary, secondary, and college students and a national strategy, and submit them to Congress, the Secretary of Education, and the Archivist. The Secretary of Education would then notify state education agencies and make the materials available online. The bill would provide $2,000,000 for the commission, which would end 60 days after submitting its work.
