We need desperately to understand The Need For Civics Education in American and throughout our American system.
Start with A View Of the erosion's in our society, from the expanse and vile of American Crime to and through to the Dysfunction in Our Legal system, as evidence of the erosion of Democracy and the Civic Responsibilities that have become decayed and spoiled, and become rotted. The loss of Ethics and the Chaos in General Society as everything in America Declines.
It is the responsibility of each person as citizen in America, to invest themselves to learn about Civics in a Democracy, Their Role and Their Responsibility. It is imperative if we expect to sustain and promote and grow our nation as a Democracy.

American Crime and Dysfunctional Legal Systems
We see every day, the working poor and the dire poor, handed sentences like its a first priority thought. While those of monetary mean and social position, and monetary based status, are slapped on the wrist and pass one back to their criminal lives. Many times with the gains, as well as means of restoring them to a status which allows them to go right back into their criminal mentality.
This is not just a matter where skin color variable demonstrate dysfunction and inequity in justice.
Many Records show the disparity in sentencing based on race, but it also shows the sentencing disparity based on economic status and monetary measure, that over-rides race, to impact monetary disenfranchised white people as well.
The absence of the Media's focus on this matter harms
monetary disenfranchised white (low income) white people, and certainly black people, both monetarily disenfranchised black people; as well as, a great many monetarily stable black people.
It is a crime of a dysfunctional Legal System against the monetarily disenfranchised in our society, both black and white people!! It also is a crime against those who many have monetary stability, but no status connections or social prominent positions.
When we ... as an American people, put Racism and Other Social Divisiveness To Rest, THEN and ONLY THEN, we can WORK TOGETHER to focus on building a Just and Honest Legal System.
First we have to go backwards, and demand a removal of the 1000's if not 100's or thousands of more legal pieces, that were used to promote slavery and justify segregation. When we do that, we also will remove those that also work against working poor and dire poor white people as well. It's a massive task, that many not happen in our lifetime.
The law has been so convoluted over 100's of years, that Justice is not Just, it is a matter of cost and payment - as a profit making system, from the Court House to the Jail Houses, and has led this nation to the nature of "For Profit Prisons"... Which is only a modern day version of "the Post Slavery and Segregation Era "PENAL FARMS", which were nothing more than mass "Free Labor" for profit to many of the prominent, whom owned these vast farms.
We now "farm our prisoners" in countless industries to aid and enrich the wealthy. It functions not unlike slavery, nor is it unlike indentured servitude by the act of incarceration.
Nothing about it is designed nor meant to be "Reform" and means to help those who have gone down the wrong pathway get to the pathway of ability to sustain themselves. They are set up for Recidivism, with the labels attached to them, "AFTER", they have served their time. (I am addressing the nature of NON_VIOLENT CRIMES, OR CRIMES THAT DID NOT CAUSE THE DEATH OF DAMAGE TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS). Yes, the word "Damage is a big word", but the sake of discussion, Damage will be considered as: NO physical or mental impairment to cause handicap conditions to another.
____________________________
There are ways WE, the American People can build a Better America, A Better Society, but we must fix the inequity and injustices in our American System... as a beginning step.
.
(To avoid the continuation and cycle and mess we are in, I will address in a New Thread later.. )
We must focus on fixing our Justice System In America. When we do that, not only will our legal system serve American people, our institution will not have the escapism mechanism they use, when they damage, harm and kill people.... Nor will our monetary disenfranchised people of this nation be subjected to a system, because they can't pay the cost to buy justice.

Let's Start at the Top of the Chain: Our Military Veterans
Quote:
We see a system in our own Veterans Administration, pushing policy chances, that produce nothing but paper shuffling, to prolong and delay with an aim ultimately not to pay, waiting on the veteran to die off, or shuffle it from and through a system of bureaucracy, to ensure that the process is so convoluted, that the average individual cannot withstand or mount, the Legal system will stand to the side, and claim they are unfamiliar, or do not handle VA Federal Claims, while the system has already factored in the premise that the average injured veteran has no monetary means to pursue it individual, and if they have some means, it is insufficient to meet the demands of a Federal Case, which is then cycled back through the mountain of Veteran System Bureaucracy. We have MILLION'S OF VETERANS to this very day caught up in this deceptive madness that stands against them.
Yet, Regional Directors in the VA system, are groomed by INCENTIVE to deny as many claims as they can, in a system based on "PAY BONUSES" !!!!
The American Public should DEMAND, IMMEDIATE REVOCATION of "PAY BONUSES" !!!! TO ANY AND ALL AND EVERY PERSON IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM OF THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION.
This is American Taxpayer Monies, and Every Veteran is an American Citizen who has served this country's Cause of Justice and Protection of everything that makes America Exist. [i]In July of 2017, the administration "cut" funding for the attorneys and divisions that settle cases, while the same administration told the American people, it was going to promote the settling of veterans claims.

Further Damages is being done to disabled Veterans under this Administration:
Under one of many possible scenarios, disabled veterans could have seen their annual disability benefits fall from around $35,000 to around $13,000 under Donald Trump's budget proposal to cut "individual unemployable" for disabled veterans who were old enough to receive Social Security payments.
Quote:
2018
The 2018 budget proposal outlined the proposed changes:
Veterans eligible for Social Security retirement benefits would have their IU terminated upon reaching the minimum retirement age for Social Security purposes, or upon enactment of the proposal if the Veteran is already in receipt of Social Security retirement benefits. ((((Not Good-Veterans Earned These Benefits !! These Veterans Benefits offset a veterans loss of ability to have independently earned and saved for retirement, why subject them to impoverishment leveled living as they age, yet again!!!))))
These Veterans would continue to receive VA disability benefits based on their original disability rating, at the scheduler evaluation level. IU benefits would not be terminated for Veterans who are ineligible for Social Security retirement benefits, thus allowing them to continue to receive IU past minimum retirement age.
The Trump administration estimated that the proposed cuts would save $3.2 billion in 2018 and $40.8 billion over 10 years and had proposed using those savings to help fund a plan to expand and make permanent the Obama administration’s Veterans Choice Program, which seeks to improve the availability of care for veterans in their own communities.
Yet, he told the people he was for and in-support of our veterans and our troops. (????) PEOPLE NEED TO READ !!! any pay attention.
None of that 320 Billion set to go into the Military, will benefit our troops it will go to private contractors and the rich and powers in the Military Industrial Complexes and its many System, controlled and owned by the wealthy. (People don't let selective Amnesia be your mindset, We spent a LITTLE MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, , $$TRILLIONS of Dollars on Military Equipment, enough to occupy 2 countries, and enrich a whole system of "solder of fortune programs and operations", while our troops got next to nothing except a sand colored uniform, fancy eye shade and cheap made boots.
Now, Lets move into the Areas of the American People, who work, and contribute to this country in every capacity of what makes this country work as being America.

We see TV advertisement, promoting claims for toxins that were known to cause lifelong damages and death to people, with the claim of pursuing settlements, when the bulk of ALL, such settlements, sum of to the LEGAL system and its Licensed people, (Attorneys, Law Firms), walking away with $100's of millions, while a PITTANCE is issued out to any claimants.

Ethic's before money has to become a higher concern for mankind. Nothing in the principle of God based goodness has ever said that a people cannot profit and live fair, when Ethics lead our pathways.
We have much to "RELEARN" and how to re-groom ourselves and our society, As To and About; how to live as honorably people, who are just and to build a system of ethnic based justice.
In the 1970's our schools were damaged greatly when legislation's impacted our society, which led to the diminishing of "Civic's" being taught in our schools. We lost that education value of what it is to be a "Citizen" in this Democracy and this United States.
The Far Right - wanted it removed, because it was post Civil Right Era, and for that learning to be promoted for a non segregated people, to learn how to further fight for rights and liberty in this nation, it did not like the move of Civil Rights nor of Women Rights, and the Many Rights of the Previously disenfranchised. IF people were to be unlearned about our system, they too were to be unlearned about our voting rights, unlearned about how voting districts function and unlearned about how our political and Civic system functions. Those of the Far Left moved as well, to avert the learning of Civics with a claim of wanting unconstrained freed without Civic responsibility as they considered people were being groomed for War Services. The element of the Vietnam War was a great impacting tragedy upon the American people, and people were distraught at the many lives were being destroyed and taken away in a war no one could explain. Later, the Pentagon Papers surfaced, exposing the mess, it future impacted the minds of people, and moved us even further from the education of Civics. On the Far Right, they become more enraged and wanted to lay blame upon the elements of cultural and ethnic integration. when bare premise and fact is, 'we ceased to "teach coming youth and the next generation about what it is to be of Civic Understanding and Learning in how to learn Civics as to the individual in a Democracy System of these United States.
Civics is about more than just how our System is designed, it is about the civil nature of what it takes to live within a Democratic system.
Former Senator Bob Graham has long championed a push for Civic Education to be Returned to Our Schools.
Since the removal of Civics from being centered in our Educational System, we've seen a continual erosion of our society and a widening disintegration of our social continuity. One does not grow up with inherent learning as to how to live in Civil society, it is a process of learning. We seem to have forgotten that very important point.
Instead we have allowed money to become our focus in every aspect, and as a result, EVERYTHING in America has declined. Ethics have been disregarded and eroded and made void.
If we want to fix American we have to start at these levels of Education, and move back to what we once knew, and education our young in what is American Democracy and Teach the Civics, to education people how to live in a Civic system as civil beings in a Democracy.
Many people have no idea of what is the branches of Government, how the structure is designed, nor how education, work, industry and even have lost how to understand the responsibility of our financial markets are to function in a Democracy, that provides elements of "free markets". People do not understand, that a Free Market, only exist when it functions within Regulatory Governance. Many have lost even the awareness to know or understand, that Democracy cannot exist nor continue without Regulatory Governance. It is " core in the foundational premise" to the stability of Democracy. It infers "Responsibility", to and for the Civic Nature of Our Democracy. This is the nature of 'Governance that was long established with the Declaration of Independence to be and become a Democracy, and the establishment of the Constitution was and is a Civic System, that advises us how to be and become a better democracy.
Civics helped teach American people as to how to understand their place in society, how to value the elements that make them good civic citizens. It emphasized the benefit of Education for the better of society, not as a sole aim and goal of "self enrichment by profession". It taught people the value of "contribution". People were then not taught to pursue a career just because of high net gain of money, it taught people to value career aspiration to be one who contributes to the betterment of society. There was no crash course madness methods of gaining a Degree Title for the sake of status and high pay. It was for the higher learning, to be a better equipped individual to promote and contribute to society.
(Today, the education tract has become all about "MONEY", STATUS AND TITLE", as a result "EVERYTHING IN AMERICAN DECLINED, we lost sense of purpose and loss sense of value and blamed it on everything and anything. Greed was promoted as good, excess was celebrated as success and we had become a society, that has no respect or protection of Legacy, not in family, not in community, not in business and certainly not in protecting the many institutions that make up our nation.
Even our stock markets, are no longer about the design of system where any and everyone could invest in the STABILITY, and Research and Development of a Business", and MANAGED GROWTH. IT is now, about speculation and fiction, of excess valuation, which promotes the contrived greed machine it has become. It crashes companies by the thousands, and sell out American interest, thus eroding the industries across the nation, which damages communities across the nations and devastates families.
This is the results of a society who has no Civic based Education, to understand what and how a Democracy Works and What keeps it working and how to become a better Democracy.
Instead, we want to blame it on race, ethnicity, and all such absurd things. When it lies in our lack of understanding the value of Civic Education, to teach people what is a Democracy, how to live in it, how to help it grow, and how to be civic minded citizens who live in support of the Democracy we love.
Young people have no sense of place and this has persisted now since the 1970's to erode more and more each and every years that passes, when more and more people move into adulthood... unequipped to know and understand what is a Civic System, how it works and what their role and responsibility is within it.
We let everything from religious fanaticism to every form of bigotry and bias, try to control and dictate, when none of such things would predominate in a system that has an education people in Civic Responsibility and Regard for Civil Society.
We need to wake up... We need to Re-learn the Real Reason that America Exist.... and Plan Our Course for the Future with a society who is first and foremost, Educated in Civics. And Understand and accept Our Civic Responsibilities as Person and Individual.
Many people today, have no idea who their local council members are, nor their district rep's or any of such things, nor do they know what is the role and responsibility of these position. They vote based on "DRAMA ADVERTISING"... without every knowing the facts, the premise and often having no knowledge of the character traits of those they elect. They vote based on who "arouses their anguish"... and who "strokes their emotions", and who can make fake promises of money in their pockets. We choose blind, and have no sense of mindset to know and hold the elected to the understanding they are there to serve the people, not to enrich themselves and devote themselves to collecting campaigning funds for reelection. Their deeds are no longer even the measure of re-election, its about "who has collected the most money from special interest groups".
We are to blame for the mess, it is us... the America people, who failed to know and be taught the value of Civics Education. The sooner we accept that, the sooner... we will stand to DEMAND, that Civic Education is Returned and Expanded in Every Aspect of our Educational System, throughout the Organizations of Higher Education.
Then and Only Then ... can we move to bring "ETHICS" back into our society.... if we fail... the lust for money and living by the pursuit of money over civic decency will destroy this democracy and all that live within it. And bias , bigotry, greed, and every type of malice will become the make up and continuance until we are a destroyed nation, and fall and set ourselves up to be usurped and made into an Autocracy. Controlled by those whom command the power of wealth. We will become a destroyed nation... corruption will reign supreme, and no one will be safe in any way at any time. Society will be ripped apart at the seams and chaos will present us, exactly what we seen in the movies of a devastated landscape and returned to raw survival instincts as if to be like animals of prey upon and against one another.

(Many will never read these words, nor understand the elements being discussed, because instead, they seek, drama, distractions and tid bit spins for the excitements of their own anguish. Therefore, they will be void of the destructive manner within their own mindset of ignoring what is at the core of the matter, they delight themselves to hold and spin in such anguish, unaware of how they damage the future of America and their own offspring's). The lack of Civics understanding of what support and sustains a Democracy and their role and responsibility within it.
We see every day, the working poor and the dire poor, handed sentences like its a first priority thought. While those of monetary mean and social position, and monetary based status, are slapped on the wrist and pass one back to their criminal lives.
