U.S. immigration policy is one of the most talked-about issues in the news today. Major changes are having an immediate and powerful impact at every level, from the geopolitical to the civic to the personal. The scope and complexity of the issue create challenges for students trying to understand it. Scholastic GO! is here for them—and you—with related resources on American history, international relations, foreign nations, government agencies, and more. We also cover other March topics, from Music in Our Schools Month to Dr. Seuss’s birthday!
