Podcasts about Civics

Students from Sprague High School in Salem and Lincoln High School in Portland are co-champions of a national civics competition that tests students’ knowledge and understanding of the U.S. Constitution. But it’s how they won that has made this year’s “We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution National Finals” one for the history books.  Sprague High School’s team consisted of just two members, seniors Matthew Meyers and Colin Williams. They won a spot at the national finals in Washington, D.C. after winning second place in the state competition in January, behind Lincoln High School.  At the finals, Meyers and Williams faced off against teams with 20 or more players in the 3-day competition, fielding questions about constitutional law and Supreme Court cases from a panel of judges and legal experts. When the scores of all 32 teams were tallied, the duo from Salem were initially declared winners on April 11, with the Lincoln team finishing in third place. But according to reporting by The Oregonian and New York Times, Patrick Magee-Jenks, who teaches social studies at Lincoln High and coaches its constitution team, found what appeared to be a mistake in his team’s score. That prompted officials at The Center for Civic Competition, which organizes the annual competition, to investigate and correct the scoring results, with both Sprague and Lincoln High School prevailing as this year’s national champions.   Meyers and Williams join us to talk about this remarkable outcome, along with Magee-Jenks and Audrey Farrimond, a junior at Lincoln High School and member of its constitution team.

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director of the Center for Civics, Education, and Opportunity Dan Rothschild is joined by Shruti Rajagopalan who is a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center. They discuss the evolving relationship between the United States and India, emphasizing the significance of economic engagement, the impact of the 1991 reforms, and India's emerging identity on the global stage. They explore how India views itself in the context of global politics, its relationship with the US, and the challenges and opportunities in manufacturing, particularly in light of the China plus one strategy.

At the root of classical education is a noble challenge championed by master teachers throughout the Western heritage: teaching is the process of soul-craft—by which educators cultivate virtue within other human beings so that they might live good lives.This challenge inherently elevates the role of teachers beyond mere transmitters of knowledge to shapers of innate potential— people with the power and influence to build up or undermine the lives and willpower of students.In this presentation, Mr. Palmer explored the tragic landscape of contemporary American education, explicated the nuances of soul-craft in theory and practice, and revealed why this kind of soul-craft possesses ultimate significance for human flourishing.Zach Palmer received a B.A. in History from Hillsdale College and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction: History from Liberty University. Mr. Palmer teaches American History, Western Civilization, and Civics.

Today we were going to explore how "big tech" has woven itself into the fabric of the Trump administration. But after a conversation with Allison Stanger, professor at Middlebury College, we decided to focus exclusively on Elon Musk and his relationship with Donald Trump. What is DOGE, the "Department of Governmental Efficiency?" And while we're at it, what is efficiency anyways? Has DOGE saved Americans any money? What information of ours are they trying to access? And is there any chance they've already succeeded?

Today we explore the nebulous world of political consultants. These are the people who run political campaigns. They use a mixture of science and gut-feeling to determine what a candidate should say and do, and in one particular instance, what they should NOT say and do. How do they do it? How effective are they? What actually moves the needle in a campaign? Talking to us today are two campaign experts; David Karpf from the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, and Rasheida Smith, political consultant at Dunton Consulting.  CLICK HERE: Visit our website to see all of our episodes, donate to the podcast, sign up for our newsletter, get free educational materials, and more!To see Civics 101 in book form, check out A User's Guide to Democracy: How America Works by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice, featuring illustrations by Tom Toro.Check out our other weekly NHPR podcast, Outside/In - we think you'll love it!

What do you do when you wake up one morning and learn your local government is hell-bent on making a terrible decision. It could be anything – a bad real estate deal, an idiotic public works project, maybe it's a high-density housing project in your sleepy suburban downtown. I get calls about these things all the time, and I hate to say it, but it's usually too late to do anything about it. Sure, you might be able to flood the council chambers with enough angry residents to move the needle, but you're just throwing a “Hail Mary” at that point. You have to realize that when you elect someone to public office, you give them the authority to make decisions on your behalf. So, you have to make sure to elect the right ones up front. Then you have to attend their meetings regularly to make sure they stay on track. You can't just expect to pop in at the 11th hour and exercise a “citizen's veto,” because there's no such thing. I call these situations painful lessons in civics, and they're going to keep happening until conservatives start taking their responsibilities as citizens seriously.

Taxes on wages make up the bulk of federal revenue every year. Where does that money go, and who decides how much you should pay?The process is extremely complicated - and deeply political - which is why it's important for everyday taxpayers to understand how the people they elected choose to spend the money voters give out of their paychecks every year. We talk with tax policy expert Beverly Moran, a Paulus fellow at Boston College Law School and professor emerita at Vanderbilt, about how budget reconciliation works: where Congress decides where it will cut taxes, and how it will make up for those cuts. We also talk about how those decisionsaffect the vast majority of taxpayers, who earn most of their wealth from salary or wages... and how it looks different for the wealthiest Americans. Find Beverly's research on the impact of the 2017 TCJA here.  Listen to our episodes on the history of the income tax in the United States, and how the tax return process works. We used a number of sources in this episode. Here are some, in order of appearance: How much revenue has the US  government collected this year? from the US Treasury Department. Reconciliation explainer from the Congressional Budget Office.Budget Reconciliation: Tracking the 2025 Trump Tax Cuts from the Tax Foundation. What are itemized deductions and who claims them? from the Tax Policy Center. How did the TCJA change taxes of families with children? from the Tax Policy Center. The 2017 Tax Law Was Skewed to the Rich, Expensive, and Failed to Deliver on Its Promises from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Lifting the SALT Cap: Estimated Budgetary Effects, 2024 and Beyond from Penn Wharton Budget Model at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. Differences between the traditional CPI and Chained CPI from the Congressional Budget Office. Republicans say Medicaid cuts won't happen.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon  Fallout on “SignalGate” continues to grow  It's now being called “SignalGate” -- messages about military plans being inadvertently shared with a journalist through an app called Signal. The story broke yesterday from The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, and it's been the biggest political story of the last 24 hours. Many in the national security sector say this is a huge breach; the White House says no classified information was actually shared. The Inside Sources hosts discuss this developing story and get a cybersecurity perspective from Brandon Amacher, director of the Emerging Tech Policy Lab and an instructor at Utah Valley University. The hosts also talk about potential legal ramifications with KSL Legal Analyst and Inside Sources co-host Greg Skordas.    GOP Senators balance needs of the budget and Pres. Trump’s agenda  Republican Senators are working hard to keep President Trump's agenda alive, focusing on several things like addressing Medicaid and Social Security, tackling the nation's debt, and boosting defense spending. The Inside Sources host talk about a few of those points and what Utah’s Senator John Curtis is saying about potential cuts.    Governor Cox vetoes first bill of 2025; also signs another 75 bills  Governor Cox has vetoed his first bill of the year -- one that would have changed the process by which some property taxes are collected and distributed to local school districts. The bill, Senate Bill 37, was sponsored by Senator Lincoln Fillmore. It faced opposition from many educational groups and the State Auditor. Hosts Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon share their thoughts on the governor’s decision to veto and also discuss some of the other 75 bills he signed yesterday.    Civics education: The three branches of government  In the past few weeks, there's been a lot of discussion about each of the three branches of government and their roles. Many people have said things like "the courts can't tell a President what to do" or "Why is the President talking about budgets when that's up to Congress to decide." Rusty recently finished a book called "A Republic If You Can Keep It" -- he shares some thoughts from that book that tie in with the discussions currently going on in our country.    Pres. Trump: Portrait in Colorado Capitol was “purposefully distorted”  Have you ever had a bad photo taken of yourself? How about a bad portrait? Some people – including the President himself – have taken to social media to complain about a portrait of President Trump hanging in the Colorado State Capitol. Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon have a fun conversation on artistic standards.

Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security searched two Columbia University student residences Thursday night but did not make any arrests or seize any items. Meanwhile, the New York City health department is investigating two unrelated cases of house cats contracting bird flu. Also, we look back five years ago when schools across New York City shut down due to COVID-19. First Deputy Chancellor Dan Weisberg reflects on how the pandemic reshaped education. Plus, New York City Public Schools are celebrating Civics Week, encouraging students to use their voices for change, including speeches from young advocates like 7-year-old Rafael Serras of P.S. 41 in Bayside, Queens.

New York City residents will have more options to apply for municipal identification cards. Plus, a case of measles has been reported in Suffolk County. Also, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson pushes for more birthing centers in the area. And finally, a 5th grader learns how to advocate for change in his community.

For centuries, Christian education stood as a pillar of Western civilization. The Puritans, the Reformers, the Founding Fathers—all understood that education was more than the transmission of knowledge. It was about forming souls, shaping virtue, and training minds to discern truth from falsehood. Harvard's original mission statement put it plainly: "Let every Student be plainly instructed... to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life...and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning." Education wasn't only about making a living—it was preparing individual souls for earthly and heavenly good, and it was intended to preserve the soul of a nation.Fast-forward to today. America's public schools are a dumpster fire. The federal Department of Education, founded in 1979 as a political payoff to the teachers' unions, has failed in every possible way. Literacy and math scores are plummeting. Civics education is nonexistent. And instead of teaching students how to think, the public school system indoctrinates them with radical gender ideology, racial grievance politics, and historical ignorance. We are producing a generation that cannot read, cannot reason, and does not love their own country.Donald Trump is right: the Department of Education needs to go. Not just defunded—not just restructured—but abolished. It has no constitutional mandate, no biblical legitimacy, and no moral authority to dictate what children should be taught. The only path forward is the one laid out by Scripture and history: parents taking responsibility, churches stepping up, and local communities reclaiming education from the clutches of federal bureaucrats.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.Today, we're going to expose the failures of the modern education system, trace the rich history of Christian education, and plot a course for the future. Because the answer is not more government intervention—it's a return to biblical principles and local control. It's time to take back education.

Taking a break from the usual to talk about a topic few of us know enough about - Civics. Per my office buddy Chat GPT, "Civics is all about understanding how government works, how people participate, and how decisions (laws and more) get made". Knowing the basics is valuable in understanding the state of the beauty industry's regulatory landscape... as well as everyday life. Note: this is not a political episode. I stayed way clear of that. Hope you enjoy. :-)

As the United States acclimates to the "flood the zone" governing style, reasoned discourse around civics has crumbled. https://youtu.be/ngx0GxJjmDM There are many causes. Polarizing media, bombastic claims, and systematized gas-lighting on both sides have created one of the most toxic political environments since the Vietnam War. However, the absence of civics and good citizenship concepts have laid the groundwork for the hysterics of today. LINDSEY CORMACK has a way forward. She is the author of the book "How to Raise a Citizen " https://www.amazon.com/How-Raise-Citizen-Why-Its-ebook/dp/B0DBWYTXJ4/ Outline: Why are Civics Important? Recent stats on the absence of civics Understanding structures Understanding the "why" of structures and civics Knowing what the Constitution says Knowing that the Constitution evolves too Understanding federalism Government funding mechanisms Communication- how to broach inflamed subjects How to raise the next generation What makes a good citizen?  Going beyond jury duty and voting Civics and Active participation Intersection with wealthy multi-generational families Joint decision-maling Believing in something greater than self Guardrails of ideals melded with open-mindedness and curiosity Right holder vs Duty bearer (Rights come with obligations) Justice vs compliance  Control vs grace Right and wrong in civics Contacting Lindsey Links: www.howtoraiseacitizen.com IG: @howtoraiseacitizen Lindsay discussing civics on Errol Louis' YOU DECIDE Podcast The Intersection of Civics, Money and Presidents Rights and Obligations with David Haass (Civics) Background LINDSEY is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Stevens Institute of Technology. She is the former Director of the Diplomacy Lab. She is the secretary of community board 8 in Manhattan and the co-chair of the Street Life Committee. Lindsey is the creator of DCInbox, a comprehensive digital archive of Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters.  Finally, she is also the author of Congress and U.S. Veterans: From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis. Frazer's interest in citizenship and civics: You may be wondering why a show about wealth management (and beyond) would be interested in citizenship and civics.   In a nutshell, I get asked three times a day what can be done to raise responsible kids.  Because families (and the answers to those questions) are different. The answers should come from within, I ask what they (the parents or grandparents what think it takes to be a "good citizen."  The answer to that question can then lead into the discussions I need to have about stewardship and a variety of other concepts. Additionally, good civics is good business. Businesses ignore the politics around them at their own peril. Board dynamics are also the intersection of civics, joint decision-making and constituent accountability for businesses. Executives have to be good at this. The values that make people successful are also the ones that people want to pass down to their kids Personally, politics and civics are ingrained in me.  I majored inhHistory and political science major in college. I worked in many NYS campaigns, the NYS Department of Economic Development, and ran the Republican Party in Bedford, NY for a year. More recently, I was on the board of my co-op for 7 years and president of the NYC Estate Planning Council. Civics and participation are a big part of my worldview. Transcript Frazer Rice (00:32.447) As we get acclimated to the new flood the zone component of politics, reason discourse has crumbled. And I think absence of civics in public life is the cause. Lindsay Cormack has a way forward and she's the author of How to Raise a Citizen. Welcome aboard, Lindsay. Lindsey Cormack (00:46.978) Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to talk with you today.

When it comes to the protection of a free and fair press, there is one landmark Supreme Court case that sits at the top, and it is New York Times Company v Sullivan (1964). This case redefined libel in the United States and is cited in almost every defamation suit since, but its origin is in the Civil Rights Movement, when newspapers were sued to the brink of collapse for covering protests in the south. Taking us through libel, defamation, and "actual malice" are Ang Reidell, Director of Outreach and Curriculum at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, and Samantha Barbas, professor at the Iowa College of Law and author of Actual Malice: Civil Rights and Freedom of the Press in New York Times v. Sullivan.Click here to watch a fantastic documentary from Annenberg on the case.Quick note to teachers! Our guests are collaborating today!
