Current events are essential to Social Studies learning. The ultimate goal of teaching Social Studies is to prepare students to become active citizens in society. Though learning about maps, philosophy, and history are essential to Social Studies, if a person does not know what is currently happening around them, they can never truly be a contributing member of society.
In an article that I had recently read,"Judge Says 'Dreamers' Program Must Continue," by Associated Press, you can learn about one of the most debated current events of the last few years. Immigration has been a hot topic in the United States for a long time. One of the protections of young undocumented immigrants is called DACA. DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arivals Program. This program allows children who were brought to the US without permission live and work in the United States as "Dreamer." It was started by President Barack Obama in 2012. President Donald Turmp has been working to eliminate the "Dreamers" intiative. A judge in San Diego, Calfornia denied Trumps request to end DACA and gave him three months to devise a better plan to work with these young children who would be deported if DACA was removed.
People in the DACA program must finish high school or serve in the military to be elegible. The people in DACA are also not allowed to break the law in any way. All people who are accepted to DACA are only eglgible for two years and then they have to reapply.
As a future teacher, I feel that the most improtant thing is provide all children with a quality education so that they can have a sucessful life. The DACA program allows children who had no say in whether or not they would come to this country have a leg to stand on while they apply to become a citizen. I believe that DACA should not be removed, but modified. I believe that in order to remain in DACA, the person should be actively starting the process of becoming a citizen. Everyone should have the opportunity to have the American Dream and be able to achive it through their own hardwork and determination.
