  • Brown has authored legislation requiring civics education to be reintroduced in public schools six times in six years.

Mississippi State Representative Jill Ford is pushing to reintroduce a bill that would mandate civics education in public schools, emphasizing the importance of understanding government functions and civic responsibilities.
