Have you ever wanted to discuss things like racial equity, economic justice, abortion, or free speech, but your teachers won’t go there? Join us as we journey through the ideas, political philosophies, and ideologies that have shaped our increasingly divided country. In this course, students will examine important current events and issues at the local, state and national level through the lens of some of the greatest thinkers of the past and present. Through a combination of discussion, simulation, and creative projects, we will work together to understand our world and look for ways to make it better.
