Issue Topic:

Argument Topic:

1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"The members of the town school board should not be reelected because they are not concerned about promoting high-quality education in the arts in our local schools. For example, student participation in the high school drama club has been declining steadily, and this year the school board refused to renew the contract of the drama director, even though he had received many awards for his original plays. Meanwhile, over $300,000 of the high school budget goes to athletic programs, and the head football
coach is now the highest-paid member of the teaching staff."
