Odd. I’m also a millennial and we started civics lessons in 3rd or 4th grade, then continued civics or some version of history until 12th. All of it american unless you took AP Euro
We had social studies in 5th grade and government for junior year. None of it covered how elections work, what our civil rights are, or covered much of what the Constitution and its amendments are.
I had to take AP gov before they even started covering any of the “behind the scenes” stuff like party primaries. Before that it was just “the Democrats and Republicans select a nominee for president and you can pick between the two.” Red states aren’t behind in education for nothing though.
As a millennial, civics was never taught in my school. Had to learn that shit on my own.
