Ken Rocheleau - When my mother and father graduated from high school -- in different states and in 1941 and 1931 respectively -- they both had to stand for boards on several subjects, high school then being much more like college now. One was on US history and another was on the Constitution. They grew up to have fairly different views of politics, but both could still quote verbatim the Constitution and Amendments as they had been at the time of their graduation. Dad admired some of Europe's progressive policies, but he would always say "Of course, we can't do that here because the Constitution doesn't give our government that sort of power" and Mom would say "Thank the Founders for their foresight."

That right there would go a long way to teaching students how to be good citizens. I would much prefer that over teachers indoctrinating them in whatever the latest propaganda is about "citizenship."
