60-Minute Civics: Who Decides What Patriotism Looks Like? Protest, Dissent, and the American Tradition
November 20, 2025 • 7:00-8:00 pm EST
Throughout American history, acts of protest have been hailed as patriotic by some and condemned as un-American by others. This session explores how the line between patriotism and dissent has been drawn (and redrawn) over time, inviting educators to help students examine how social movements, constitutional rights, and civic identity intersect in a democracy. This discussion will connect directly to We the People Unit 6.
