Students consider their own government — local, regional or national — and think about whether there are any “uncomfortable truths” they feel about it. Has the government denied something it shouldn’t have, in students’ opinions? Is it investing in initiatives that make students uncomfortable? Is it ignoring something that students think is too important to be ignored? Students can write about their thoughts in an essay or letter.
