This is the home of the online journals and musings of my American history students at Groves High School in Beverly Hills, Michigan begun in the fall of 2006. At this site, students will share their thoughts and feelings about the topics in American history that interest them. They will respond to journals as well as be responsible for posting once a week. I hope you enjoy your visit, and please feel free to leave a comment or two.

Colbert Report: What does it take to get John Edwards's vote?
WoW! The election in Pennsylvania hinges on the "white working class" male vote. It's no longer soccer moms or Reagan Democrats. It's the white guy's turn. And here's Senator John Edwards with his take on how Obama or Clinton can get his vote.
Enjoy!

Blog #17 - Why do you think women have had such a hard time?

Question: Why do you think their (women's) road has been so tough in their fight for equality?
Things to consider: Everyone in America a woman (1/2 the population given the 2000 census) or has been touched by, involved with women in some way or another; with such a close relationship, how can men NOT be influenced to accept women as equals? Is there something built-in to our culture - an anti-woman bias - that keeps women down or degrades them?

Why do you think Hillary Clinton is not succeeding as well as Barack Obama, especially considering that BOTH of them are historical, groundbreaking candidates? Is she losing b/c she's a woman or is she losing b/c of her policies and personality? Lastly, why do groups like Phyllis Schlafly's sabotage women's fight for rights?

200 words minimum.
Due Wednesday, April 9th - Please note new due date. Sorry this was posted so late - have had a busy weekend so far.
