globes and politics
Yes!!!! Haha.
Also, a teacher in an underfunded district excited about FINALLY getting an updated map of the world (thinks back on how many globes an maps growing up still had the USSR on them).
Growing up, my globe had the USSR, but it was supposed to; it was still a going concern...(showing my age)
I do like the idea here..though there could be political risks if narrow minded people see the alternate history mentioned as being opposed to their views. Goodness knows there's enough politics when people try to teach history as it is...be careful! (How bad depends on the area, of course--in some areas, a majority of people want history taught, others want their bowdlerized version of it to be the only thing mentioned, and will try to lynch (figuratively) anyone who dares teach different. I've lived in areas of both sorts.
