DE: Bill Would Grant Civics Day to Students, Encourage Community Engagement
April 24, 2021
A bipartisan group of Delaware lawmakers is sponsoring a bill that would give students in the state one day a year to engage in civic activities, ranging from protests, to legislative sessions, to speaking on behalf of causes they support. The bill, if passed, would represent a first of its kind in the nation. State Rep. Eric Morrison, who authored the bill, said that if students can be given time to go hunting, “they should be able to take a day to learn more about their democracy.”
