Let's Get Civical!

On this episode of BreakDrink, Laura and Jeff brave the fierce Texas storms to talk about US civics! Laura has an upcoming interview that she is prepping for in November, so she decides to quiz Jeff on what he knows about American government, geography, history, and society. Tune into what we review about the Civics Test for US naturalization, our thoughts on group-think, and what it means to think beyond our affinity groups:
