Two teachers at school have capitalized on the historic moment this week of the hearing on whether the Nov. 2 election for governor should be set aside and a new election called.
Feb. 1, a local attorney who is a member of the legal team for the Democrats, will speak after school to the Political Awareness Club. He'll be explaining the proceedings and the cases each side is arguing. I suspect he'll also be emphasizing just why the Deomcrats are correct and the Republicans are not.
Then, Friday, these two teachers are taking their classes of highly capable students to court -- really the Chelan County Auditorium -- to witness some of the proceedings. (Coincidentally, one of the two teachers has been called for jury duty this week and may not be able to make the trip.) Apparently the spark for much of this came from a student, ChAt, who holds a special interest and a Republican point of view. Regardless of the outcome and how long the hearing lasts, these students are witnessing history: If the election is set aside, it will be the first time in the nation's history that a re-vote is called for governor.
More to come, for sure.
