Tell the FDA!!!

I took action by signing a petition that will tell the FDA we want to know what is in our food! I actually get petitions sent to my email every day.  I take action on all that I feel strongly about!  It feels good to have some say on what's going on in the world today.  Makes me feel civil. It's about being proactive, and being democratic.  We as citizens have the right to make our beliefs reality.

This brings us to social justice.  Everybody is equal, which is why we all equally have the opportunity to take action in our country.  We are all the same legally.  We all have the same rights. It is important to treat out future student equally, and educate them on social justice.  Social justice ties into bullying and racism, which is still happening today.  As much as we try to prevent it, there is no way to rid of it.  But we can educate our students and hope that their generation will abolish injustice.

“Struggle for social justice is central to our nation’s history…“Concerns about the common good and the rights of the individual, no matter how humble in social standing, transcends politics and holds a definitive place in the realms of morality, ethics and federal law, and therefore in the world of teaching social studies”


This quote is powerful. Regardless of the community, injustice is still present. But it will never be allowed.  This is why teaching our students about social studies is so important.  We must prepare them for the future.
