Monday: Finish direct democracy skit. Class quiz. Trump has ban on Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, and Yemen because of ISIS. Protesters think this ban is racist, many see it as a Muslim ban. Muslim people are coming in from other parts of the world-Trump doesn’t mean for this to be racist, he’s just targeting terrorism. The ban is only temporary-3 months.
Tuesday: look over Europe map, talk about Trump firing the Attorney general.
