Peaceful Transitions

Today was my favorite transition of power. It is one of the many reason I believe in the US Constitution and choose to teach social studies. However, it was my second favorite peaceful transition of power. The Ghanaian elections which were decided a little over a week ago is my favorite peaceful transititon. That is because it was only the 2nd time its has happened in Ghana's 51 (almost 52) years of Independence. I am so proud of my fellow global citizens that choose the ballot over the bullet.
