View submission: The Mental Gymnastics is Infuriating
Because for them civics is short for civility i.e. how to function in a way that we are OK with/to our interests.
A government class teaches how govt is supposed to work.
A civics (as they envision) is how you get the government to do what you want. The question is who the you in question is.

“Civics” as they envision it is invariably just telling kids that things aren’t ever going to change so they just need to play the role society gives them.
