Tuesday November 19th

Went over the maps, test is sometime next week. Our non map test is tomorrow on republicans and democrats with other current issues. 

Talked more about elections that happened in the late 1900's. Affirmative action laws have started to die down a bit over the years. Things are changing in states which is like getting rid of affirmative action laws. The people think that the best person should be hired which should happen but it won't because some people are still racist.

Military- Democrats want to cut military spending. Republicans want to increase military spending. When Bush was president other countries started to hate us because they thought he was sort of a "bully" and they thought we wanted to work by ourselves.

Death Penalty- Democrats oppose it, they think it's putting innocent people in jeopardy. Republicans want the death penalty and they think it is necessary and effective. Most states have it but most of them that do don't really use it. The death penalty used to be used with an electric chair but now lethal injection is used.

Prayer in school- Democrats oppose it. It should only be happening in church or other certain occasions. Republicans favor it. It is a religious right and our Christian heritage.
