To Impeach or Not To Impeach
Impeachment has been the popular thing to talk about for awhile and L.Joy wouldn’t be the fabulous civics teacher she is, if she didn’t inform us about the process. So on this episode, L.Joy gives us a lesson on impeachment and then brings Carolyn DeWitt of Rock the Vote to the front of the class to discuss their #Census2020 work.
