When Alex Campbell set out to teach sociology through true crime, he wasn't trying to catch a murderer. He was trying to make the stakes real. Nine years later, his high school students in Appalachia have restored names to victims of the "redheaded murders," helped families, and become the subject of a limited series with a perfect critic score. But as Alex tells it, the thing that mattered most was never on the syllabus: how much his students came to care. In this conversation, Alex and Tricia dig into what it actually takes to hand young people a real problem — and why that's the whole point. In this episode: Why sociology and murder aren't apples and oranges — and how high stakes bring out the best in students The surprise Alex didn't plan for: students connecting with victims who died decades before they were born Schools as "the institution best at separating people" — and how project-based learning breaks down the walls His three-part test for a real project: passion-driven, community-focused, interdisciplinary Practical, permission-giving advice for teachers who find this exciting and scary — start small, start with a partner, use the resources that already exist "You don't work for me": how buy-in reframes classroom management and reaches the students who've stopped believing in school's promises Civics you can feel — freedom-of-information requests, and why John Benet Ramsey has a thousand websites and Lori Pennell had almost none The creative gamble behind the series: victim-forward, not offender-forward, and a true-crime story that doesn't end tied up in a bow Portraying Appalachia and teenagers with authenticity instead of stereotype Using the series for professional development — what to watch for, and why it might matter more than you'd expect Building a house, powerlifting, and teaching yourself: Alex on learning as a lifelong series of real problems to solve   Watch: Murder 101 is streaming now.

We'll be discussing what the new USCIS naturalization test changes mean for citizenship applicants. With the complexities of this process, be sure to stick around until the end to get a bonus tip that could give you a unique edge in the speaking portion. With these new changes, many applicants feel overwhelmed by the unfamiliar photo description format and experience anxiety when forced to describe images on the spot using English vocabulary they may not use daily. I understand how difficult this can be, so today we're going to break down exactly how to prepare effectively.

This episode is being recorded just a couple of days before the 4th of July, and as so many are calling it, America's 250th birthday. And we here at Civics 101 have spent a lot of this year trying to understand when and how America, as we know it was really born. What is our origin story? Why are we like this? And why don't we talk about the empire that was here before the United States? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Proclaiming Liberty by Timothy Sandefur revisits the revolutionary year of 1776 through the minds of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two men whose words and ideas gave birth to modern liberty. Sandefur’s engaging narrative brings to life the “American mind” as those extraordinary Founders sought to express it—their arguments, ideals, and enduring beliefs in natural rights and self-government.Sweeping from the English Civil War and the writings of Locke and Montesquieu to the colonial battles over the Stamp and Townshend Acts and the battlefields of Massachusetts and Virginia, Sandefur’s narrative shows how the Declaration distilled centuries of debate about freedom, law, and human nature into one of history’s most enduring statements on justice. Blending biography, political thought, and legal history—from Sir Edward Coke and Edmund Burke to Tacitus and Frederick Douglass—Proclaiming Liberty traces the Declaration’s legacy through the abolitionist movement, the Civil War, and the modern age, documenting how its principles have continued to challenge tyranny, refute relativism, and inspire movements for justice.Join us for this discussion between Prof. Lee Strang and Timothy Sandefur as they reflect on the Declaration's intellectual pedigree and enduring relevance for all who love freedom.Featuring:Timothy Sandefur, Vice President for Legal Affairs, Goldwater InstituteProf. Lee J. Strang, Executive Director, Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society, The Ohio State University

On today's show, The U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, ruling 6–3 that the policy is unconstitutional. Handed down on June 30, 2026, the landmark decision in Trump v. Barbara (alternatively cited as Trump v. CASA) firmly establishes that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Is the WNBA uncomfortable with Caitlin Clark because she gets so much attention, brings in new fans, and doesn't fit the image some people want for the league? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states are allowed to count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day. In Watson v. Republican National Committee, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion in a 5-4 ruling that allows states to count late-arriving mail-in ballots as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. Debbie Bresler of the Crescent City Countdown Club joins the show to talk about Go 4TH on the River, New Orleans' world-class 4th of July celebration marking America's 250th birthday.

What does the Constitution actually say — and why haven't most of us read it? Ben Sheehan, bestselling author and award-winning digital creator, joins host Dr. Katie Crawford Lackey to talk about the civic knowledge gap and how he used his background in comedy to make one of the most important documents in American history genuinely readable.Ben traces his own constitutional education — from dinner table civics lessons with his mom, a Senate staffer, to his years at Funny or Die and the Upright Citizens Brigade, to writing OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? He makes the case that Congress is more powerful than we're taught, that the Bill of Rights is the work of one person who lived on the very land where this episode was recorded, and that civic engagement doesn't have to mean doomscrolling — just ten minutes a day across the federal, state, and local level.Ben is also the host of Civics Made Easy on PBS, now being taught in 40,000 classrooms nationwide.

This is the fourth episode in an occasional series for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, America's semiquincentennial. What if we approached this coming Fourth of July not as a single day to celebrate a special national birthday, but as the start of a decade-long commitment to a "civic renaissance"? The story of the founding of the United States didn't end on July 4, 1776 — it remains a work in progress (with plenty of setbacks, too). Indeed, a question people pondered at the time remains important today: What does it mean to be a republican citizen? Historian Lindsay Chervinsky, the executive director of the George Washington Library at Mount Vernon, is our guest.

What if the frustration so many parents feel about politics could actually become influence? In this deeply meaningful conversation, Wendy sits down with Sharon McMahon, author of The Small and the Mighty and founder of Sharon Says So, to talk about why civics matters for parents, how history gives us hope, and what it looks like to stay grounded when the world feels heavy. Together, they explore how learning government and history can help families move from fear and confusion into courage, clarity, and purposeful action. Sharon shares the heart behind The Small and the Mighty, the power of ordinary people who refused to give up, and why unity does not have to mean agreement. This episode is a beautiful reminder that our kids are always watching, that character matters, and that influence begins with how we show up at the table, in our communities, and in the hard conversations. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/323⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.
