Current Issues usually means issues that are occurring at the current time, so I'm pretty sure that these are all okay. Just incase, e-mail your teacher (he/she should check e-mails over summer. My teachers do) and ask:
-Gay rights
-Animal rights
-Depression
-Eating Disorders
-Media and its emphasis on the "perfect" body
-Divorcing
-Gas prices
-Global warming
-Bad foods/obesity
-Economy
-Abortion
-Drug Babies
-Teen pregnancy
-HIV/AIDS
-Honor Killings
-Invisible Children
-Celebrities (reckless acts)
-Hate Crimes
-Abuse (spousal, relationship, family)
-The rise in number of teens with STDs
-Autism?
-Stereotyping/Prejudice
-Bias (of any sort)
-Same sex marriage
-Illegal immigrants/extremely slow process of getting a green card
-Poverty/homelessness
-There is a big issue going on in South Korea with the new president and the medical insurance.
-Wars/fights/disagreements in other parts of the world
Good luck =)

Um, only a few come to mind for me, but they're kind of interesting, so you would be able to give good reviews/opinions.
1. Body image among people. (Considering anorexia and bulimia have become very large issues.)
2. The alarming rate at which depression is occuring at younger and younger ages. Studies show that kids, as the years go by, are becoming depressed and stressed at younger ages. Something else could be suicide?
3. The increased divorce rate. Look into why it's happening, and whether it's a problem or not.
4. Invisible children (aka what's going on in Uganda, with child soldiers). Invisible Children is actually a great program to look into!
5. Child slaves in other countries, as well as the United States who are being bought and sold for both work and sex.
6. The young pregnancy rate.
7. Immigration issues (example--Mexico/America).
8. Should places be allowed to have WMDs? (Weapons of Mass Destruction)
9. Should we actually be in Iraq, and should other countries have the same rights to do what we've done there?
10. Where should our tax money be spent?
Hope this helps a little.

You could look into ...
1) U.S. Trade with Colombia - McCain supports this trade and was going to go there to express this support.
2) Health Care - This along with social security are probably always going to be current issues
3) What about some recent Congress bills? For example:
- The Higher Education Act of '65 programs have been temporarily extended
- More here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
4) You could also look at the democrat and republican platforms. See what issues seem to be "hot topics" and build from there.
