This blog was created to provide the 12th graders enrolled in my US Government class with an extra credit opportunity to showcase their work in re my Mock USSC Hearing Project. For this project, the students spent one day a week, for nine weeks, focusing on the question of whether the Constitution permits Sikh school children to bring a metal bladed kirpan to school. A kirpan is a metal bladed sword or dagger.

Results of the Practice Run
The practice hearing results were heavily skewed in favor of the Petitioner
I find these results surprising. I've never had such a lop-sided results before. Wondering what happened. Could it be that this time around, I assigned roles, rather than allowing those of you who wanted to represent the respondent to do so. That's my guess. We'll find out for sure when we hold the actual hearing in two weeks.
