The governor of Virginia made a poor choice in his youth, and a yearbook captured the choice forever. Now he's being asked to resign. Is this right or too severe? Is forgiving the same as excusing? And what can today's youth, growing up in the social media generation, learn from this?

Be advised that the image in question is included in today's lesson as we feel there is no way to think critically about an image without seeing it. Please determine if the image would be too inflammatory for discussion in your class.
