Hey there
Today we worked on our taking a stand project in Social Studies. My subject is Polygamy, where a guy marries more than one wife at the same time. Its pretty gross. Its practiced in a few religions, but I'm specializing on the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints. Also known as the Mormon Church. The weird thing is that only a very small group of the Mormons practice polygamy. It was officially outlawed in the Mormon religion in 1890. Its been banned by the US government since 1862. There are some small hidden groups that do it though. Most people have heard of the recent case in Texas where 413 children were seized from their homes. This was because there were only about 10-12 dads and tons of moms and tons and tons of kids. Yeah, they're having a nightmare over custody issues.
In other news, the sub that we had yesterday for German and will have tomorrow too was subbing for Ms. Ward, our social studies teacher. It was okay, but I didn't like it that much...
Yeah...
Talk to ya l8r!
