While “the people” continue to clamor for changes in how campaigns are financed, many politicians have responded by simply pushing their fundraising efforts into the background and out of the media spotlight. So, who really has the ear of candidates, ask advocates for campaign finance reform, “the people” or “the funders”? Students can explore this question and the larger issue of classism by monitoring candidate activity—current or past—through a media journal project.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
