Join the Center for Civic Education on Tuesday, October 26, at 7 p.m. ET for the final webinar of the Five Freedoms series. This capstone event will be a panel discussion to review the Supreme Court 2021-2022 term with Senior Judge Marcia S. Krieger and Chief Judge Brooks Smith. The judges will review several First Amendment cases before the Court this term. Sign up today!

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Center for Civic Education offered a free webinar for teachers  titled “Teaching 9/11 and the Constitution: Free Speech and Civil Liberties.” First Amendment scholar David Hudson spoke about the constitutional issues surrounding the federal government's reaction to the 9/11 attacks. Jennifer Lagasse of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum demonstrated free educational resources that support educators in teaching about the enduring repercussions of the attacks for a generation with no memory of the event. Maria Gallo also explored a new lesson plan titled "9/11 and Civil Liberties."

A new third edition of the Center for Civic Education's popular Project Citizen Level 1 textbook for middle school students is now available. The 76-page illustrated textbook engages middle school students in proposing public policy solutions to real-world problems in their communities. Using ten clearly defined action steps, students learn the skills and knowledge they need to be active, responsible, and impactful citizens. A teacher's guide enhances instruction by providing tips from Project Citizen teachers and emphasizes the fundamentals of the public policymaking process.
