This article is just upsetting. CPS failed to remove 3 children from their caregivers home after an officer reported concern, several other reports, and signs of neglect. Unfortunately, today only one of the three siblings are alive. CPS should be accountable.

This article is so heartbreaking. CPS should have done something from the beginning when they first started noticing abuse. I have experience with a bad social worker before when I was fostering a child. She was suppose to come every month to check on him but wouldn't show up for months. CPS needs to find a solution to get these social workers to do there jobs to protect these children.

is heartbreaking how a little mistake can change a lot of people's life. In this case 2 children are death. CPS need to have professional workers that know how to identify the emotions of the kids. This case show us how life is unfair with some people and how sad it can be when some people don't do their job right.

Editorial Project in Education of Education Week is a quality source for Americas educational awareness that uses it's articles, blogs, online chats "24/7" to help advance the quality of education in America. This article in particular explains what the ten most major educational issues are and the reasons they are contributing to a failing educational system in America.

I like this article, even though it does show us why the education system is failing drastically apparently we don't know how to fix it. In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.

"Abortion doesn't eliminate problems. It further complicates and harms relationships in women's lives. Abortion can and will only make any situation worse. It allows abuse and loneliness to continue. It's a quick fix to a bigger problem."

I feel as though this article ignores major points, and fails to provide information. first off the determining of rights of the fetus. The article explains the meaning of social and justice separately yet fails to cover when and why a fetus should be covered in matters of justice. The article also fails to provide a basis for any of the information it provides instead of attempting to convince it simply states with no backing information. Overall the issue I have with this website is that it is more of an advertisement and less of an informational article it lacks any information besides the definition of social and justice.

This article lists most of the reasons on why the educational system is failing. The US is still using old teaching ways and it is not working for today's generation.

There are so many viewpoints when it comes to education. But truly what it comes down to is what is most beneficial for the child to thrive and do their best for their future.

Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.

That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

Mental Illness and gun violence, out failing system.

Is privacy real? Google records websites visited on computers to pop up ads, that's how they make their money. Privacy is seeming less like a right and more of a goal. With surveillance of the government are infringing more upon citizens privacy. Why should the government be able to view our emails when Hillary Clinton deletes all of hers and is backed by the FBI?

I completely agree. I feel that privacy is a mere illusion in our society. Just because their is no paper trail, does not mean that there is no digital fingerprint. The government has always been a double-standard in how they have the power to make the rules, and yet they break them. People like Hillary just have more connections and the means to get themselves out of trouble.

This was a very interesting article. It does give a lot of truths about how the goverment has gone behind our backs and gone through people's private information at times. It is not fair at all for the government to be doing something like this without reasonable suspicion and a court order.

Abortion rates rise due to failed contraceptives and result in unwanted pregnancies. Individuals who chose to use contraceptives usually have more sex, so when they fail abortions are a choice they go with to get rid of the unwanted pregnancies.

Article about a class-action suit against the cities of Mt. Vernon and Burlington (both in Washington) for failing to provide meaningful representation to poor defendants facing misdemeanor charges. The lawyers handled 1,000 cases a year, way more than the cap of 400 allowed annually. In result, they were spending less than an hour per case.

This article talks about how the number of deaths increased has a close correlation in the unfair conditions these prisoners face with little to no health care. Most of the deaths in a prison are related to mental illness or health care. Other countries have laws to protect the prisoners but here in the US they are not treated as they should be.

There are many birth control methods and certain ones may not be worth the risk. Essure may not be as safe as it sounds. The device fails more than 10 percent of the time and has lifelong injuries that come with it.

Most forms of birth control are very risky. Unfortunately, due to various health issues, many women are limited when it comes to birth control options, and the acceptable forms are typically the more risky ones (such as the birth control implant or an IUD). Essure is of the more dangerous forms, as it is experimental, but many others have had similar issues, such as the device coming out of place and roaming through a woman's body. Not every woman on birth control has these issues, but it's important to be very well educated on the potential risks before starting any form of birth control, especially if it involves a foreign object that could become dislodged.

This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.

It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

this website talks about the longstanding debate concerning the risk of repeat of 1986 when President Ronald Regan signed the legislation that gave amnesty to three million illegal immigrants. That amnesty failed to achieve border security that was promised but instead only attracted more illegals to cross the border.

Explore information about eating disorders, including signs and symptoms, treatment, research and statistics, and clinical trials. Examples of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder.

I think that this situation is sort of a "hush hush" situation so I think it is great that people are talking out about it. If more people talk about it, then maybe people that are suffering from situations like this can be open about it and about getting help. I also think that people opening up about it, will open up societies eyes and realize that people are suffering from this mostly because of the pressure people have to look how society wants.

People are so wrapped up on having the perfect body that they fail to realize their hurting themselves. Eating disorders are very tragic, but are also very common these days. We start to think that just because one plan worked for someone else it will work for everyone. The truth is, everyone's body is different and reacts differently too.

This site is a pod cast site that informs the listener of a cases they of people that looks like they were wrongly accused. The attorney's on this pod case do so much research on the case files of the accused person. They are very good at informing the listener of the facts of the case.

This article explains the pros and cons of oil pipelines in the united states.It details costs for maintaining the 2.5 million miles of pipe and cleanup when these pipes fail. The environmental concerns of proponents, and the casualties caused by their inevitable demise through corrosion due to weather and age. This article sites information and data gathered from federal and private environmental agency's and groups outlining the risks of Americas aging and extensive energy pipelines. The scary part is how little oversight on the safety and maintenance these company's who advocate for the safety of these pipes are given. While a slew of federal and state agencies oversee some aspect of America's pipelines, the bulk of government monitoring and enforcement falls to a small agency within the Department of Transportation called the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The agency is understaffed and lacks the resources to adequately monitor the millions of miles of pipelines over which it does have authority.

This article brings up the question of who we can blame for the obesity epidemic. Is there one particular industry that is really at fault? Surprisingly, the majority of the people surveyed blame themselves.

American public on lack of education regarding the world and history, that people will buy any propaganda that is thrown at them to win public opinion.

The United States was built on land taken from Indian nations. Treaties between the US and the Indian nations over land is being overruled by the federal government. The federal government has been overruling sacred places on Native American land.

Everyday, the native American community is pushed further into the ground by the American government. Though they were in the America's first, there is little respect to their traditions. This article focuses on thirteen touchy subjects for Native Americans.

the issued shown here are very important issues people don't see native Americans go through. as a Native American myself I see these issues everyday such as a resent issue of a Native American being strutted by a border patrol agent was in a way swept under carpet. the article gives us what native Americans face even the issues where the u.s. had treaties with the native Americans and did not do anything to help resolve the issue but keep in hidden as much as they can.
