In a significant new initiative, PBS is set to launch \"Citizen Nation,\" a four-part series that will explore the engagement of high school students with pressing social, economic, and political issues facing America. The series aims to empower the next generation by showcasing teenagers from across the country as they navigate these complex topics, with guidance from dedicated educators.

One teacher from Wyoming emphasized the importance of civics education, stating, \"This is the most important class you will ever take in your high school career because you need to know your rights.\" This sentiment reflects a growing concern among educators about the need for young people to be informed and proactive in addressing societal challenges. The teacher expressed hope that while their generation may struggle to solve these issues, the next generation has the potential to make a difference.

\"Citizen Nation\" will premiere tonight and continue airing on the following three Tuesdays at 9 PM Eastern on PBS. The series is part of a broader effort to engage youth in civic discourse and encourage active participation in democracy.
