More from Marian Wright Edelman and the Children’s Defense Fund

Today the Children’s Defense Fund posted a downloadable Holiday Discussion Placemat that was created with a sense of humor and presents arguments in favor of government funded children’s health insurance and the need to ensure health coverage related to the current debates. The placemat identifies various family members and their perspectives and offers rebuttal to that point of view. It’s done in a light hearted manner but drives home its point well. I thought this was a great idea and wondered what other issuses, perhaps local ones, school related issues, etc that would be a good way for students to have fun and create their own placemats for discussion! I’d love to see those!http://www.childrensdefense.org/helping-americas-children/childrens-health/health-coverage-for-all-children-campaign/child-health-reform-holiday-discussion-guide.html
