Blogging for 2015 Still CAS to ME!!!

I'm blogging again, this is the first entry in quite a while. I'm teaching this class again under the newe course code CHE...I don't recognize this course code, it comprimises the ideals of the course itself. Noe witht he code CHE it can be centered around any ethnicity. The CAS code was specific to Africa. You can fill iin the rest.

I just finished asking the students 'What is being Black in Cananda?' We examinde the Invisible Knapsack,  we looked at the Cosby speech (even more interesting viewing it through a 2015 lense). We just finished looking at 'Hip Hop Beyond the Beats and Rhymes' I have been feeling that this documentary is a little 'dated', but every time I watch it it is still relevant and applicable. I was a little intrigued at the response from my some members of my class when examining the sequence on Misogyny. A boy and a girl in the class basically inferred that the girls are either asking for it or responsible in some way for their abuse because of the way they were dressed...it sparked quite the discussion. When all was said and done, everyone understood that unwanted touching will get you arrested (and it should).
