Every week in Government we assign a current event that the students must research and discuss with the rest of the class. Topics are selected by the teachers, but the entire discussion is student led. The other teacher selected this weeks topic of "Secret Service Scandal" which I wasn't super excited about until the comments started coming.
"My article said the first guy didn't realize she was a prostitute until she wanted her money."
"What can I say? Prostitution is bad. And gross."
But, by far my favorite was, "I think these guys work really hard and I don't understand why they can't have fun after hours." Followed by a huge uproar and threats to fight. It was also at this point that one student decided the door should be closed for this topic. I totally agreed.

I think it is gross the one thought that prostitution was an acceptable way to have fun after hours! Seriously what happened to bowling, or renting a movie?
