current event quiz 2.2

1. a cascade of republican house members publicly called for him to step down from his leadership role
2. liberal
3. their terms end later than others
4. help k-12 school counselors identify their students' career goals and find pathways to achieve them
5. 33 yards

1. many people are angry with president trump right now because he used the word lynch to compare the impeachment process to an actual lynching.
2. lynch is hanging someone without a fair trial
3. lynching became a popular thing in the late 19 century not long after african-american slaves were freed. lynching was used mostly to punish african-american for problems white people were having and needed someone to blame. from 1882-1968, 3,446 out of 4,743 people lynched in the united states were black.
4. i think trump used that word to describe the impeachment process because he probably feels that republicans are being punished for things they aren't responsible for and as a result, people want him to be impeached. 
5. no because unlike african-amerian slaves in the 1800's, the republicans are creating problems that cannot be blamed on anyone else.
                 5b. i think that the president should take the blame, take down his tweet and apologize to                           everyone. i also think that he should just accept that he might be impeached and in                               instead tweeting about it, he should try to do something about it by being a better                                 president
