What
Constitutes Effective Civic Education? An Invitation to our Readers.
As we work
toward future issues of the Journal of
Educational Controversy, we have been thinking about an issue on what
constitutes an adequate and effective civic education for students growing up

addition to the development of rational deliberative arguments, what do
students need to understand about things like coded language, gaslighting, the
role of historical narratives, etc., in their civic education. We invite our readers to contribute to the
structuring of our controversial scenario for the issue. What must our students know and understand?
