    Because we teach kids all about civil liberties while mostly ignoring civic duty.

    Civil liberties are 100% dependent on citizens completing basic civic duties. If people aren’t willing to do the bare minimum (like vote), then we end with a society of people who just want all the good stuff and none of the responsibility. Which is pretty much where we’re at today.
