		<title>Comment on Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown unveils online Civics Toolkit by Virginia Bruce</title>

		<description>I was delighted to hear about the Civics Toolkit on Think Out Loud today. They read my comment about lack of it in school.

I would like to suggest that our system of Citizen Participation groups is a great way to introduce kids to REAL civic engagement. I am the Vice Chair of CPO 1 in the Cedar Mill area of unincorporated Washington County. We have been trying for some time to get some connection with our high school so that we could come in and talk to them about what we do, and maybe get some kids to attend one of our meetings. As you probably know, there is a great deal of resistance from educators to add ONE MORE THING to their bloated mandated subject list (for the tests?)

I realize that not all areas have as robust or as independent a system as Washington County, but I believe that some form of citizen involvement is mandated (as Goal One in Land Use) in each county. It could be a ready-made avenue to demonstrate civics.

I&#039;d be happy to discuss and help to develop this idea if there is some interest.
