Chasing Heritage Who Really Shapes the Future of Education? A Civic Leader’s Perspective | Dr. Randell Trammell
In this episode of Chasing Heritage, Chase sits down with Dr. Randell Trammell, founder of the Center for Civic Engagement and candidate for Georgia State School Superintendent, to explore the role education and civic literacy play in shaping the future of our communities.
Randall shares how leadership starts early, why civics has quietly disappeared from classrooms, and what happens when students do not understand their rights, responsibilities, or power as citizens.
This conversation goes beyond politics. It dives into how everyday people can make real change, why education standards matter, and how civic engagement builds stronger communities from the ground up.
This episode dives into:
- What civics actually means in everyday life
- Why civic literacy is essential for democracy
- How students can change laws and influence policy
- The role schools play in shaping informed citizens
- Why transparency in education funding matters
- How parents and communities can engage locally
Randall also shares powerful real world examples of students influencing legislation, building civic confidence, and developing leadership skills early in life.
If you are a parent, educator, student, or citizen who cares about the future of education and democracy, this episode will give you clarity, context, and practical insight.
This is a conversation about responsibility, leadership, education, and building a heritage rooted in civic engagement.
