C-Span bus rolls into town, but journalist's twist student's response

This first blog is in response to the Rapid City Journal article on the STM students response to the C-Span coming into town. I believe that the journalist took to many things and twisted it or jokes a little to seriously. As a member of the AP Government class, it isn't a representation of any of the fifteen we have in the class. If anything the article would have been a entire paper and then some if they would listen to some of our classes where we either interpret and discuss parts of the government or argue about political views. Two years ago we had a very large discussion in the school about the election on things like the platforms the candidates had. Most of are now at or near voting age, regardless we will all be able to vote this next Presidential election and I believe all of us will. I would just like to let anyone who reads this to know if you believe this article to be true, you are more than welcome to come during C period AP Gov. to discuss with us about the government we have no interest in.

  1. I agree with you, but it's easy to see where he's coming from. With Congress in a seemingly endless gridlock, it was reasonable for him to believe that we are skeptical of politics. Although many of us were offended by the article, many people who read it probably thought that being disillusioned by politics is completely normal and acceptable.
