The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

With over two hundred years of history, does America need to make English its official language. The article covers many times that this was proposed only to be turned down time again. They only agreement in this article is that we are English only in our public schools.

This article says how gun safety is different then gun control. It states "guns are freedom".

The author describes a different approach to bringing up gun control. Instead, referring to it as gun safety. Such a subtle change could make a difference to opponents.

Interesting article about physical and mental needs of the refugees looking to come to the United States. The article is written in simple language and easy to understand.

The school uniform debate is one of personal freedom. Can schools prevent our children's personal express by requiring uniforms or does uniforms help prevent some issues like improper dress, foul language and graphics and keep the focus on education not who is wearing what.

One constitutional controversy raging in public schools today concerns mandatory school uniforms and dress codes. Proponents contend such measures instill discipline and prevent gang-related violence. They say uniforms and some dress codes lessen peer pressure aggravated by socioeconomic divisions, promote a unity of spirit and help administrators more quickly identify trespassers on school grounds.

This website is from the sex trafficking national hotline. It defines what sex trafficking means, and provides data to the issue here in the United States. It provides us with resources to help stop sex trafficking if you or someone you know is in danger.

Still undecided about my topic but I am leaning more toward sex trafficking so this website will be significant in my research. It's wonderful that they have sites out here that clearly show a phone number immediately when they get on the site. You never know how much this could help someone!

This topic is one that we can all agree needs to be stopped. Its awesome that the site offers advice on how to get involved available in many different languages to read.

This article talks about some of the biggest challenges that immigrants and refugees face when coming to the United States. A couple of the reasons mentioned are the language barrier, cultural barrier, and accessing services.

This is a awesome article, I like how it explains in depth about the challenges immigrants face. It is always important to understand from a different perspective on what immigrants and refugees face.

This article shows a great understanding of how it is to immigrate to the U.S. Hopefully this can bring some understanding to those who feel hateful to these groups of people.

A poll done by the Knight-Gallup foundation is reviewed in this article by MTSU in which the author, Ken Paulson, gives his thoughts on the polarizing effects of how American Media has changed from being simply separated by partisanship to a new era of inflamed division. Paulson cites the poll by Knight-Gallup to show that public opinion coincides with his own views in that our media is too heavily biased and is to blame for political division. The article has a strong close bringing readers to be introspective as to why the news articles in which they might place blame are continuously fired up by views and demand.

The IRC (International Rescue Committee) is seriously concerned about females rights in Afghanistan. Females should be able to work, go to school, and move freely. As of August 2021, the response plan funding for women and girls has drastically diminished making them more prone to violence, child labor, and forced marriages. Since international support has slowly been fading away, almost 1 million children will miss out on education.

Despite the article referring to women and young girls distinctly why choose to rename your bookmark and pointedly refer to them as females rather than as the article intends? Your article covers rather dehumanizing issues so it strikes me as odd that out of all this your choice was to choose a word you could apply to any non human mammal rather than the women of Afghanistan. Did you not think that the article used the language "women and girls" for the reason of both humanization and to clarify that perhaps the rights of a female mammal weren't at stake here but the human population that happens to be female?
