    A view that Trump is going against the Constitution and being Un-American by restricting Muslim immigration into America. States that it goes against our heritage and history and should be opposed, because there are no facts to back up that it would increase terrorism.

    What some see as a surprise attack on states' rights, others know as a carefully thought out education reform. What seems like straight-forward educational reform has sparked plenty of controversy. For some, the Common Core State Standards seemed to come from nowhere, and appeared to be a sneaky attack on states' rights to control local education.

    the most interesting part of this article is when it was said that food stamp recipients are ripping off taxpayers. I know that alot of people see food stamp people as freeloaders and its due to the common conception of people taking advantage of things they don't need. I don't think it is really fair to judge without being in that persons shoes.

    I think welfare is needed and it's important to continue the program. I do however feel that the system needs to change to prevent those that do take advantage, sell their food stamps and cheat the system can't. Unfortunalty this ruins it for those who really need the help and are trying to make ends meet.

    It is important that Americans help out fellow citizens when they are struggling but I do not think that we should allow people to remain on food stamps and government assistance indefinitely. Lets form a plan to help people find and maintain a job that will take care the that person and their family.

    I enjoyed reading this article and learning more about how women had to fight so hard to be treated with the same respected, or to get paid the same as man do. It's crazy to think how far they have gotten.

    This article/ website definitely hits many different ways racial profiling can happen. I always believed, why judge a person based off their skin color when underneath we are all the same.
  • ker2165548 on 04 Sep 17
     
    I found it interesting that it said racial profiling is patently illegal. it also says racial profiling is ineffective. It makes me wonder how often occurrences like this are allowed just because no one wants to deal with it.

    The International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Sesame Workshop (the organization behind Sesame Street) are teaming up to give millions of refugee children in Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria support to learn and grow. They are combining Sesame Street's history of educational content with IRC's history of assisting crisis-affected areas to deliver learning opportunities tailored to the needs of the children and caregivers.

    This is a must need for these children suffering from trauma. I did not know learning can reverse the effects of toxic stress.

    This is probably one of the most well known issues surrounding government corruption. Spying and stealing secret documents. Not to mention the attempt to pay off the thieves to keep everything quiet.
