If I recall my Ed. History 101, one of the purposes for public education was to make good, thinking citizens. I think public education has lost that as one of its fundamental purposes for public education. We need to help our students to think, compare, and research facts before they vote. Mock voting, having students participate in current events and so forth can all contribute to helping them become better voters. Even logic should be taught to students in order to learn how they can be duped into false premises.
