190. I'm trying to remember if we had talked about Watergate in school
Thu Mar 30, 2023, 08:29 PM
Mar 2023

as it was happening (although most of the hearings were over the summer but they started before school let out for summer). It is so much easier for schools to cover "current events" now thanks to the internet streaming of the news. I remember the "Weekly Reader" did at least touch on the 1972 election that I recall but don't remember if my classes in later years got those news pamphlets by the time of the Watergate hearings.
