What's middle school like...after coming back from remote learning? Well let me tell you...it's different. (If you were reading this with standardized test eyes, that's the thesis statement. Just didn't want you to miss it.) The rest of the blog will explain "different."

Where are US--oops, WE--going?
For one assignment (in late November/early December, so after the election) in the Intro to Politics course I taught last fall at Pierce College, I offered an art option. My instruction was to create a piece that expressed your thoughts, views, values, preferences, etc. about anything in "politics." I use the quote marks there to indicate the fact that I told them that you could render almost anything as politics, or political. Indeed, I noted, Marx was wrong...everything isn't economics, it's politics. But that's an argument for another day.
I liked several of the pieces that the artists presented, and I'll offer up some others later. But for now, this one, which seems apropos in a particular and special way in this current political climate.
In fact, I won't even explain, interpret or analyze what you see...have what response you want.
