“Bewildered by the ballot box”: should civics be taught in schools?

I am amazed at how little even seniors in Australia know about politics. One case in point is the twenty something who asked me recently if Liberal or Labor were in power! It used to be a round table discussion from time to time around the dinner table in families but sadly that doesn’t happen any more for various reasons although our youth were probably inculcated by their parents as to who to vote for and it became a generational thing to vote Labor or Liberal. Now we have so many ‘independents’ in the mix it has become confusing and many independents are not in that they have formed to give their preference votes to their wealthy donors preferred party as in the case of the Teals and Climate 200.
My only concern with being taught Civics in schools is that a bias can be taught along with the content and this actually happened to my children as well as many others I have come across over the years. Inculcation is meant to be illegal but it happens in universities as well as it has happened in the past especially back in the 70’s. To satisfy me it would have to be taught in a bipartisan manner which would be hard to design and to enforce.
