    The article is about a highly controversial Arizona immigration bill. It is somewhat disheartening to see the article was written in 2010. 8 years later, there has been no improvement to immigration reform.
  •  
    this article does show us an issues that effected a lot of people. also the article gives good reasoning to why this bill was bad for police since people wouldn't wanna get involve with police good or bad involvement In the fear of getting questioned on their legal statues. this article also hits me in personal way because of where I am from a reservation where you are questioned before you can even enter major cities such as Tucson and casa grande.
  •

    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.

Bullying in Arizona - 4 views

  •  
    A general information article that talks about bullying. It gives the definition, who is at increased risk , ways to create safe environments, and anti-bullying protections in the state of Arizona.
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    Bullying exists everywhere! I like this article because it provides ways for an anti-bullying environment. At some point in time everyone has whiteness someone being bullied, has been bullied personally, or has been the bully. Its a tragic subject that can lead individuals to suicidal attempts and depression. How long will it take before people realize this matter is crucial especially in educational environments, social media, and even in politics.
  •  
    I just found out that my wife is pregnant a week ago and this is one of my greatest concerns as a soon to be parent. No one should have to go to school and be open to abuse. Great article and I appreciated the ways that it states to make safe environments.
  •  
    Bullying.....we always hear the word bullying and this is one of the most scary situation in the world. Million of people have killed themselves because of bullying. we have to stop bullying.
  •  
    This is such a common topic and has been for so many years. Bullying has been around for so long and now that social media is extremely popular it seems to make it worse. We have to do all we can to prevent this due to so many students committing suicide because of such extreme bullying.
  •  
    As a parent of a bullying victim, I feel there is much that can be fixed when dealing with this issue. the only thing you can do as a parent is talk to the administration and after that, your hands are tied. They are the ones that talk to the student and the student's parent. The only notification you get is that they had a meeting. In the meantime, your child is being retaliated against, their self-esteem continues to deteriorate and their schoolwork suffers. I wish there could be a more proactive approach. There came a time that I didn't get any communication until I sent an email to the entire school staff, Principal, and Superintendent.
  •  
    Its definitely an issue that far too often is overlooked. I am not a parent, and can only imagine how parents feel when their son or daughter is a victim of bullying. The issue definitely needs to be addressed, no one should have to attend school worried or concerned about how their day is going to go. It is very saddening, and disheartening.
  •  
    I feel like bullying has become more and more of an issue over the years. It is sad to see what is going on and I would like to see more schools implement programs to stop it.
  •  
    Bullying as gotten bigger over the years especially dealing with how big social media is getting. I wish school and adults would help stop this issue because it is always overlooked.

  •  
    This article talks about the reasons why drugs (of all kinds) should be legal. It talks about how legalizing drugs could potentially make streets safer and would aid in preventing prison overcrowding. It also brings up how legalizing drugs would free up police resources, unclog the court system, reduce official corruption and how it could cripple organized crime. It also talks about how legalizing drugs can prevent the contraction of AIDS and other diseases and prevent the erosion of personal liberties.
  •  
    I do believe marijuana should be legal due to so many people using the drug even though it is illegal. It definitely would prevent prison overcrowding and if alcohol is legal and kills people often, why can't marijuana be legal?
