Taking a moment to talk about the 6th GOP debate in class could be a great way to show the many counterpoints that exist to President Obama's state of the Union address. It's the first of the new year and the number of folks on the state is starting to dwindle. Each of the candidates on the stage have their own unique spin on the issues and baggage they bring with them into the hot seat.
Trump had his best debate yet and continues to set the media on fire with his energy and controversial view points, still leads polls.
Rubio has at times crossed the aisle a few times.
Cruz recently told someone their face that he'd deport them and has had his citizenship question by Trump.
Carson promised to play a little hard ball and way didn't. He's still a medical legend and one of the best surgeons in US history.
Kasich, congrats on making the state you teachers' lounge hating so and so!
There's also an opportunity here to show just how diverse the viewpoints in the Republican Party are by using Governor Haley used her rebuttal to attack Trump.
Presidential election season comes only so often. There are many great opportunties here to show our students a little bit of everything to help them find some interest in the political process. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Participation is what is important. Who you support isn't is important to me as long as you get out and vote.
