America: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

The best part is that it semi-pretends to be a highschool textbook, so it has review at the end of a chapter.

[Random shit from Judicial Branch chapter]

Discussion Questions:
1) How many of the nine Supreme Court justices can you name? How many of the nine members of the Brady Bunch can you name? What does that say about you?

6) Separation of church and state is one of the fundamental principles of our government, yet court witnesses are required to swear on The Bible. Justify this.

Classroom Activies:
2) Have the entire class dress up in black robes and put white wigs on. Observe how much easier it is to get serious work done.

7) Have your students "re-argue" Colgrove v. Green, 328 U.S. 546 (1946), to determine if, as Colgrove argued, the Illinois congressional districts "lacked compactness of territory and approximate equality of population." That'll teach the little shits for chewing gum in class.
