Headline
Santa Fe, New Mexico, February 17, 2011 — Valerie Plame Wilson, ex CIA agent, will come to Capital High School to discuss the role of the CIA, covert ops, her life as a mom and other issues pertaining to working for the US Government.
Melanie Romero, principal at Capital High School, states: “Santa Fe is a unique community and the state capitol, where Capital High School endeavors to connect our students to important global and local issues.”
The US Government curriculum addresses the actions of the United States Executive and Legislative Branches, checks and balances perceived by the founding fathers and interpreted today in our global society, and Congressional oversight of the Intelligence Service. Students at Capital High School will be viewing the movie “Fair Game,” developing questions about Valerie Plame Wilson, and writing an essay about loyalty and ethics from their own perspective.
Some of the questions that students have already developed for Ms. Plame Wilson relate to her life as a public servant, training in the CIA, her clandestine operations, the lead up to the Iraq War and the current Wikileaks exposure.
Ms. Tilp, AP Government and Politics teacher says, “Advanced Placement Government’s curriculum enables our students to be part of the top one percent of students enrolling in college with a goal of achieving educational excellence and global competitiveness of our society.”
End
Book and life story about Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe Wilson:
Among the risks faced by men and women who volunteer to serve in our intelligence services are those which derive from American politics. This story shows us how strong the desire to serve can be and how treacherous the risks are in the minefields of Washington. Valerie Wilson volunteered at the height of the cold war. She expected to be betrayed by our enemies, not us." -- Bob Kerrey, Former U.S. Senator and Vice Chairman, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
