For Kicks and Giggles

As part of Current Events, scholars will be reading excerpts of George Carlin, the original Class Clown, to better understand EUPHEMISMS and a few themes to be discussed during the Gilded Era Unit [Mark Twain] as well as current issues of "Altering History" as covered on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Jan. 11, 2011.
