As a teenager, I cared about places I wanted to travel to, the cute boy of the week, shopping and making money...studying U.S. History, causal factors that lead to the rise and fall of civilizations over time, or the significance of State, Federal, or Supreme court decisions could one day impede on my freedom as a U.S. Citizen. I was raised to respect and abide by the law even if I disagreed with it. This was a great foundation for nurturing integrity, honesty, respect, and dignity. But it wasn't until adulthood did I begin appreciating what it really meant to be born on U.S. soil and the significance of preserving our constitutional rights. I've recently finally found my 'inner bad-ass'! YAY!
I sense other people from my generation may relate to my story and really desire our kids to be more mentally and psychologically equipped to pursue their dreams while being aware of the political power shifts and media's influence on group-think so they become well-informed, independent thinkers and leaders that know when their constitutional rights and way of life is being threatened and understand the process to know when to speak up and take appropriate action.
What are important historical data that every U.S. Citizen should be well-informed on? Online resources for children and adults to read together and create discussions about current topics? Ideas to share with kids that pique their interest in government and politics?

Renee: I have stuck this at the top for now, because it's pertinent to today's issues. I have also removed your Mystery User access, So if you return you will need to do a full registration and PM me so I can merge the 2 accounts together.
Have a glorious day!
PS.I am eminently surprised that you have an 'inner bad-ass'
