Modern Day Muckrakers


Muckrakers stirred up muck (figuratively). They were investigative reporters who brought to the general public's attention social and political wrongdoings by writing articles in newspapers. You are to take the role of a modern muckraker. First identify some sort of injustice occurring today; it can be in school or in society (political or social issues). Write a paragraph exposing the injustice and then a short solution. If you post after 5pm on Friday 11/11/11, you will only earn 1/2 credit if you repeat an injustice already posted. All posts must be completed by Monday, 11/14/11 for full credit.
