Original Note:
The funding data is from 2010 where civics funding was reduced 90% ($40M -> $4M) in favor of STEM education. Also the statistic is one in three cannot name ALL THREE branches. The number falls to one in six that can't name one (the OP exaggerates this number almost 2x) https://www.marketplace.org/2019/11/06/what-federal-funding-for-civics-reveals-about-american-political-discourse/ https://www.ncsl.org/state-legislatures-news/details/civic-learning-week-aims-to-engage-young-americans-in-democracy
