KONY 2012

Hey McGary Families!

This week we are examining the social and political issues that are behind the movement known as Kony 2012. Your students were extremely interested in this topic, so I decided to explore it a little more and challenge the students to think deeper and more critically about the video and the larger movement behind it. This week we will be learning about and discussing the role of the global citizen and the hotly contested issue about whose responsibility it is to protect the people of the world. We will be discussing issues of race, class, gender, governmental policy, and social justice.

Thanks!
