Two out of every five Florida adults can’t name the three branches of government and more than half can’t name one of their US Senators. Tuesday the State Cabinet approved an initiative to improve civics education. The Florida League of Cities is heading the charge. The league will help bring online public resources to the classroom and create civic clubs in schools. League President Carmine Priore said teaching people about government will help build a stronger Florida.

“I firmly believe that if we follow the principles that our forefathers build around us, the principles of civics, things will be much better off,” said Priore

The initiative doesn’t just focus on teaching students. Citizen Academies will also be set up statewide to help educate adults about city government.
