Exit Ticket- Quick Write
 After reviewing the actions taken by the U.S. regarding the treatment of minorities
during the war, especially Japanese Americans, think about recent history in the United
States. Were the actions during WWII the first and last time we have seen this kind of
treatment towards minorities, or have we seen something similar in recent years? Do
you think the country is capable of changing its ideology, or does fear consume logical
thought? Take 10 mins to write down your thoughts and ideas.
