Conscious Citizenship & Responsible Troublemaking

What rights do you actually have? And how do you preserve and demand justice for those rights? Students in this class will look closely at the United States Constitution, landmark Supreme Court Cases, and pivotal protest movements to become informed citizens on civic strategies to preserve and demand our rights. Students will investigate how individuals and groups have demanded justice within – and against – existing systems, as well as analyzing the success and shortcomings of justice movements. Students will also become versed in media literacy and work to analyze how stories are reported and by whom. By the end of this course, students will be empowered with legal knowledge of their constitutional rights and how to demand change on important issues from state and federal governments.
