    Very interesting! I can honestly see valid points on both sides of the argument. As a parent, I feel it my responsibility to educate my children about sex. However, there are many parents who do not take the time to educate their children. This is a tough situation...not as cut and dry as other topics on this board.
  •  
    I don't think this is a bad idea. I took sex education in middle school and am almost 30 now. I never did understand why it was phased out. Sex is real and can be dangerous and young adults should know all that comes with participating in something so mature.
  •  
    Sex ed should be a choice for kids to take in accordance to their parents, for myself when I was younger we had to have a signed paper from our parents giving us permission to take part in the sex ed class and for those parents who said no and wanted to teach there kid themselves went to another room. I see both sides to this article and its a very well informative piece.
  •  
    I think a semester of sex ed would be great. When I was in school it was just a 55 minute lecture with a couple of videos. I understand why some people may be upset with this, however, those people must understand that not every child has an involved parent who are capable or willing to educate their children. I think safe sex is integral for our children to learn. I believe it could help lower the stats of sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

Gun Control Debate: When Ammo Runs Short, Should Citizens Come Before Government? - 0 views

  •  
    Private citizens don't need ammo two or three years in the future.They need it at prices the poor and middle class citizen, who needs self-protection the most, can afford. We don't need single women being raped and murdered because they couldn't afford, or couldn't buy, ammunition for their personal firearm.

Women's Rights In The Middle East and North Africa - 3 views

  •  
    This document identifies the struggles of women in the middle east and north Africa as well as the struggles they go through everyday. You'd think we'd be more worried about this as a country seeing how "equal rights" driven we are.
  •  
    It is sad to see that in some countries women still do not have rights, or that their rights are very limited.
  •  
    This is very interesting to be honest I had no idea that women were not being given equal rights in other places.

Some consider it a part of growing up, but there can be serious health consequences, even into adulthood, according to a recent study done at Duke University. Airone Jones Sanders, a 9th grader at Southeast Raleigh High School, compares her middle school years to being in jail.

Welfare Issues - 1 views

  •  
    Individuals today face many issues with welfare. An article that states what works and doesn't work for the system. People believe welfare should be regulated by the state not the federal government.
  •  
    It is sad to see the welfare state of this country. Those who are on top are generally Republican and most people do not know how economics work. Those who are poor or middle class are far more likely to spend money thus stimulating the economy. If welfare is to be implemented it should be far less discriminatory.

Should we accept more refugees from the middle east and Africa? - 0 views

  •  
    While facing life-threatening dangers and fleeing war should we be accepting refugees? These people are desperate to find safety yet will our issue with stereotyping be why we refuse them?

Trump's Executive Order on Immigration: What We Know and What We Don't - 1 views

  •  
    This article breaks down the executive order signed by President Trump on banning refugees from middle eastern countries. It also talks about what we haven't found out about the order itself like if airports are complying with the order.
  •  
    Immigration is a very sensitive topic in the current political climate. There are many benefits to this executive order, and many consequences. National Security is something that out-scopes us all in my opinion, but staying as close to the information power curve as possible with sound sources is a great place to start. I would however question the validity of the NYT (New York Times), only on the grounds of ill reporting. Following the presidential election, the NYT issued an apology for misreporting the polls during the election. I am of the opinion that when dealing with such an emotionally fueled topic, Primary Sources are the only sources that yield direct information. Perhaps you could have sited an administration member or even an analytical specialist assessing the direct executive order. In the end however, I am not the instructor. Great topic!

Arizona Native Americans Feel Caught in Border Battle - 0 views

  •  
    In Southwest Arizona, where the United States and Mexico borders meet on reservation land owned by Native American tribes, many Native American people feel caught in the crossfire between the Border Patrol and the Mexican cartels. This is an area with one of the fewest amounts of Border Control protection, allowing a much higher rate of infiltration by drug smugglers and leaving the Native American people caught in the middle of the problem.

The most persecuted group in world - 1 views

  •  
    Perry Chiaramonte reports a study taken by the Center for Studies on New Religions, and quotes Robert Nicholson and Ryan Mauro on the subject of Christian persecution. Being a Christian is the most dangerous thing you can do in many nations, and Christianity is the religion of the powerless.
  •  
    I must say, I am not at all surprised that this study shows Christians as being the "most persecuted group in the world." All throughout history Christians have been persecuted in one way or another, especially during the Middle Ages. It is sad, however, to see how far from that era the world had come, yet seemingly is now back-sliding to that.

The effects poverty has on children - 0 views

  •  
    Within this article I learn about what effects poverty might bring to children. I learn that living in a poverty, it can have effects within the family, and educational outcomes.Children who grown up in poverty don't have many opportunities such as those who grown up in middle class or upper class. Poverty has many effects on a child's life and how they will live as an adult.
  •  
    I have never researched poverty in children,but I can imagine what kind of effects it has on them as a grown up. When those children are born into that life,the cycle is really hard to get out of.
  •  
    Poverty is a rough thing on children for sure, agree wit you and good post.

  •  
    Cecilia Attias calls out the inaction of the global leaders to prevent the horrific massacres occurring in hostile Islamic states. In the name of protecting innocent life, this genocidal persecution must be stopped before ISIS has accomplished it's publicized goal to kill all Christians.

Unequal School Funding in the United States - Educational Leadership - 1 views

  •  
    This article talks about unequal school funding in the United States. It talks about the effects of unequal school funding and how each state is funded differently.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    School funding is very important and should be equally funded in order for everyone to have equal opportunities. It also plays a big role on the future and what is to come of it.
  •  
    School funding plays a big role in education, it effects the school's equipment and learning supplies to help a child succeed in school.
  •  
    School funding has a major impact on the learning of children in the classrooms. When I was in elementary school I had switched in the middle of the year and I could tell that my second school had better funding and I questioned why schools wouldn't have equal amount of funding.
  •  
    Schools 100% need more funding than they receive. They are the foundation of childhood and for a child not to be able to learn to their full potential because they aren't able to have all the resources they need is heartbreaking.
  •  
    The topic of school funding is vast and varies from state to state; however, we can agree that underfunding of schools is a huge problem. The article shows the difference of school funding between each state and the how it impacts students. It also highlights the difference of school funding between the U.S and other countries.
