If i can ask you judge ginsburg what was it that made you want to do this . Thank you tony for asking. This is addressed to what i think is a real crisis in our Education System in the us now. In that civics is not being taught as nearly and widely as it should be. Even American History is often neglected. So we have millions of students graduating each year from high school who have never been exposed to how our government works, what our constitution says. What our National Values are even.

And i am, what im doing is part of a broader reaction to that in civics education. I think Sandra Day Oconnor started the ball rolling a dozen years
Fulton versus city of philadelphia. Ms. Windham. Mr. Chief justice and may it please theourt, the court below made a simple error.

A course in history which would be very very unfortunate.

Today we are going to start a week of starting specifically prof. Curry today we are going to start a week of starting specifically about the Electoral College, what it is, how it works, why its important, why most political scholars hate the Electoral College. With the book, hopefully you have read most of that if not all of it, you get an argument against the Electoral College but its a useful book because , he lays out all of the common arguments for it as well, which i think is helpful for allowing each person to make up their own mind about what they think about this institution generally speaking. I do a whole week on this one because its how we elect the president , but very few americans understand the process. If you take a course in the american presidency, you should probably walk away understanding how this process works. But also because its really important in how it structures how elections turnout.
