We will NOT cover controversial "hot" topics involving sex, gender identity, abortion, and racism; however, we will cover topics involving differing political views (for example, discussing U.S. trade restrictions on Cuba) and different perspectives (for example, balancing public health concerns and personal rights).  Multiple viewpoints will likely be shared by different learners.  The teacher will facilitate the discussion to stay on track and to make sure that all learners have the opportunity to share their understanding and viewpoints, which is especially beneficial when learners are coming from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.  There will be zero tolerance for demeaning anyone's viewpoint or for any inappropriate language (foul language, racial comments, or degrading language in general).  Learners will be initially warned if they participate in any of these behaviors and may be removed from the class.  NO refunds will be given.  Parents/guardians will be notified if their child is warned or removed; the instructor may opt NOT to allow these learners to enroll in subsequent sessions.
