An appeal for more civics education in America's high schools

From a Huffington Post article, which offers reader commenting -- for details, please check out the entire article.
"Research continues to prove that civic education and early participation in elections creates a habit of ongoing engagement, which is why it is necessary to target this generation of high school students to bring them into the political process and encourage their involvement at an early age. With school budgets being cut and civics education being scaled back in high schools, we all must commit to teaching today's youth about what it means and how to participate as a voting citizen in our democracy."
Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
