TikTok Sparks Debate: Is America Failing at Civics?

A recent TikTok video has sparked debate about civic education in the United States. The video, created by RealMoneyJiggles, challenges listeners to a discussion about the Constitution, highlighting the document's lack of the word "America." The creator also points to the "three-fifths compromise" as evidence of historical flaws. While the video's tone is provocative, it raises important questions about Americans' understanding of their founding documents. "Learn your country’s name. It’s pathetic!" the creator exclaims, underscoring the video's central theme. However, some claims, such as the assertion that the US Constitution never uses the word "American," require further verification. Experts in constitutional law could provide context and clarify any misleading information. The discussion surrounding this video highlights the ongoing need for accessible and accurate civic education.
