Congressman Pete Sessions visits Nimitz High School
Nimitz High School senior AP and Dual Government classes recently hosted a visit from Texas Congressman Pete Sessions.
Why does every student look pissed?
Sessions visited the classes as part of an instructional DVD . . . session. . . being produced by the Annenberg Foundation concerning the legislative process in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Students prepared questions for the congressman regarding how a bill becomes a law. (What? This issue was cleared up at least thirty years ago).
Scenes of Sessions’ sessions, as well as other footage taped at a high school in Los Angeles, will be compiled into a DVD to be distributed nationwide for civics teachers to use in classroom instruction.
Sessions also distributed pocket-sized copies of the Constitution for students to keep as a reference, which they probably threw into the trash.

Hopefully his appearance will spur students into becoming politically active--so we can get rid of guys like Sessions.
