Ooh that's awesome. The right thing to do, too, of course. I remember getting to watch the OJ verdict live, then witnessing all the teachers dumbfounded at the outcome and handing out a half dozen homework assignments on what "reasonable doubt" meant. Also, schools still have crap internet in 2019? The hell? Just get one of the students to hotspot their 4G... they probably all have phones that are capible. And they don't have normal TVs anymore, apparently?
Yep, in 2019 there are still schools with crap Internet. Welcome to the public school system. You're right most of the kids do have 4G phones and could hotspot it, but my son said once the Internet connection went down the teacher was too lazy to get up and fiddle with the computer. Again, welcome to the public school system. But I will give credit for at least having the hearings on in the background for a good chunk of the class. So despite Pokemon and Star Wars coming out in a day, my son was actually aware of the impeachment hearings going on.
Btw, I was also at the gym earlier and every TV except the ones tuned to ESPN had the impeachment hearings. Even if people don't directly watch it, with all the saturation across various media formats people are bound to eventually ask questions like "Hey, what's up with the impeachment?" When my son came home from school, we spent 5 minutes talking about politics when he asked me about the hearings unprompted. I hope that's something, which is multiplied many times over across the country.
