Quote:I see no problem not being able to name your state rep.  I don't even know who my state rep is.  They're not names you hear often to be honest.  After the election you only really hear from them again if they do something crazy, or when it's time for re-election.  And many of them run unopposed, so you barely hear about them then either.  If anything we should try to ensure that our citizens try to learn the branches of government, and their rights.  It's why I'm shocked many high schools don't require a class on government.  I'm glad that ours does.  

 

Really they don't require a class on government? It's been a while but I'm almost positive I had to take a government class in high school. The one class I remember the most was a law studies class in high school I had one of those teachers that just made the subject amazing to study, he would let us argue in the class I loved it! surprise right?
