Political science teachers explain why more than half of Americans would fail a civics test and why that’s not the end of the world–by Donna Vickroy

“What people don’t understand is the complexity behind that.” “For example, it takes 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate. Or the relationship between special interest groups and congressional voting. Those things are more complicated. I don’t think people fully understand it because there’s too much emphasis placed on the minutia of things that are probably not as important as the big picture stuff.”  Edwin Lipowski
