If you aren’t from Virginia or maybe haven’t been involved in the political spectrum of Virginia because you have just turned 18 and can now vote, you may have many questions about what politics in Virginia is like. Well now thanks to the wonderful education of UVA you can learn more. According to UVA Today, the University of Virginia is now offering a “four week (non-credited) course,” on Virginian Politics. This is a great way for students who want to be involved in politics or simply want more information to cast a vote to learn about the system. I think UVA is doing a great thing by offering this course because it shows the importance of politics in America. In our discussions in class we have mentioned the lack of involvement many citizens have in politics and this could simply be because of the lack of education on such a subject that our schools offer. The only advice on political decisions that many people look to is the media and this creates a biased approach to political ideologies. Hopefully this course will be helpful to the students who are willing and eager to take it.
