Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs.

I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

This article discusses the recent pardoning of former Maricopa county sheriff, Joe Arpaio, and the backlash it has ensued among those against Arpaio and even Republicans. It elaborated that the case could not simply be dropped, therefore Donald Trump found it appropriate to pardon the sheriff. The controversy behind this pardon stems from the fact that political pardons are generally to forgive people for their crimes, not completely obliterate them, which seems to be the case with Arpaio.

In this article it explains Obama signing the Executive Order 13738 and the reasons on why the Pledge of Allegiance is being banned. It was banned due to lack of freedom of religion.

Banning the Pledge of Allegiance in America sounds very ridiculous to many citizens. After reading the article, I somewhat understand the reasoning behind Obama's decision however, in his own words, Obama stated his action stemmed from his personal belief. One man's personal belief should not supersede the personal belief's of a million others. On a side note, President Trump revoked this executive order on March 27, 2017.

The reason why people have a problem with it is because of the "Under God" part. I'm not sure about that park because it doesn't say which God they are talking about. I do think it would be best to keep it out of schools until the words "Under God" is removed. I think a better way to do this would have been removing the "Under God" part. Overall I do support removing "Under God" from the pledge.
