Yesterday
in Western Civilization it was Valentine’s Day. Jess brought in heart-shaped
lollipops for the whole class (and still had a small buckets-worth of candy at
lunch). For the whole class we had an open discussion on the first amendment of
the Constitution. This consisted mostly of talking about the right to practice
religion. Mr. Schick talked about his trip to the Newseum, which I think
influenced his choice of what the day’s discussion were about. We had four Moments
of Zen today (Some which made some sense some which didn’t) and the discussion
took up the rest of the class. I’m actually writing this blog a day late and my
memories kind of fuzzy about the specifics of the discussion, but I’ll give
this my best shot. At some point in the discussion Mr. Schick had us look up
the oath of office for the president, and how different presidents swore on
different Bibles. Each president would use a different Bible of their choice,
while some would even use two (President Obama). We also looked up the first
amendment’s exact script several times, as we were looking at the exact wording
of it.
