Supporting youth civic literacy in the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 28, 2000

RESOLUTION
Supporting youth civic literacy in the United States.
Whereas the issue of youth participation in the democratic
process and learning the necessary knowledge and skills
to function within the United States’ democratic system
has been recognized as a major crisis area by representa-
tives and elected officials, and by the leaders of edu-
cational institutions and civic organizations, across the
Nation;
Whereas less than 20 percent Americans between 18 and 20
years old voted in 1998, including less than 11 percent
of those 18 and 19 years old;
•HRES 661 IH
Whereas the absence of obvious forums for self-expression are
an important contributor to the serious lack of knowledge
and interest exhibited by the American populace in issues
of politics, civic participation, and public discussion;
Whereas more than 75 percent of Americans between 18 and
29 years old believe that their generation has an impor-
tant voice, but that no one seems to hear it;
Whereas the concept of civic literacy addresses the absence
of methods and forums for self-expression and enables
citizens to create a peaceful and effective society, through
the use of discussion, debate, conflict resolution, and mu-
tual respect and tolerance;
Whereas 88 percent of Americans 18 and 19 years old believe
that voting in elections is an effective way to make
change;
Whereas the educational leaders in many of our cities, coun-
ties, and States have begun to implement measures to
deal with this crisis by acknowledging that civic education
should play an integral role in all curricula; and
Whereas there are many projects in United States primary
and secondary schools, colleges and universities, cities,
counties, States, and elsewhere throughout the Nation
that address the lack of civic participation in the United
States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports youth civic literacy in the United
States; and
(2) urges United States educational institu-
tions, students, teachers, elected officials, community
•HRES 661 IH
leaders, and other interested parties to participate in
local and national youth civic education projects.
