I did in the 10th grade in Jacksonville Fl.

I was attending a private school. We studied the Constitution. Learned about precedent.

Even went to the civil court in Jacksonville and sat in on some cases as a field trip.

I remember the details of one of those cases.

How many of you have a memory like that?

Just curious.

Year? I think this is a new thread in and of itself.

When and where did these classes disappear?

I took it in the 8th grade (1970-71) and again in the 11th grade (1973-74). It was called US History.

Let's see how many l*****ts took it.

Maybe someone else can shed light. I don't know. Sometimes things take effect well after they were enacted; and this works for both sides.
