We will not discuss current politics or political opinions in this class, only the history and institutions of the US and UK governments. My own opinions will not be discussed at all in this class. Any questions from learners that raise political issues or discussions will be gently redirected as the discussion will only focus on history and institutions of the US and UK governments.
