For our take action we wrote a letter to senators John Kerry
and Scott Brown and congressman John Tierney addressing the fact that
deportation is ripping families apart.
Many families are struggling with deportation and the impact it has on
their lives. Children are being left
behind in foster care and sometimes one parent is being deported leaving
families separated and devastated.
This take action is democratic because we were able to take
action and voice our concerns freely without fear of repercussion.
I think that teaching social justice issues is incredibly
important. I think that as teachers it
is our responsibility to make information available for our students and allow
them to form their own ideas and opinions about the information provided.
The quote provided is essential to teaching social
studies. As educators we have a
responsibility to help our students develop an in depth understanding of the
state, country and world they live in.
Social ethics and justice will always bring controversy but should
always be talked about and addressed.
