8th Grade Weekly Debate Question
Hello 8th graders!
I loved our discussion last week on the limits and potential of the Reconstruction era amendments! As a recap, we mentioned the dilemmas of who the government excluded from those amendments while fighting to promote equality for newly freed African Americans. Additionally. you rightly pointed back to the promises of the Declaration of Independence.

- What arguments are being made today using the 14th Amendment?
- How is the Declaration of Independence being used in the 21st century to argue for equal rights for all Americans?
Bring me your thoughts for extra credit! This is social studies; seeking multiple points of view and exploring gaps in instruction! This is an opportunity for action!
Sincerely,
Mr. Coir
