Comments
Civics education is needed, but the bill should be bipartisan. The legislature is overreaching by prescribing content. DPI is responsible for developing content for curriculum, so courses should be based on all the WI Standards for Social Studies.

Comments
The WASB supports civics instruction for all Wisconsin students. We have local control concerns with the prescriptive nature of the bill, the new reporting requirements and curriculum being approved by the legislature.
