Thirty years after San Antonio v. Rodriguez and 60 years after Brown v. Board of Education, we still remain in the same position. Parents such as Tanya Mcdowell and Kelley Williams-Bolar want to send their children to a better school so they feel they need to break the law and lie about their kid's registration and they become convicted felons. Even though the matter of blacks v. whites is becoming better, the issue of rich v. poor has reached high levels.

Although it is a religious tolerance group, it does have some good information and links about same sex marriage here in Arizona. It also talks about the Lawrence v. Texas case.

This article gives insight into the relationship between the Humane Society and the V.A. that was formed to provide shelter dogs as services dogs to veterans. Furthermore, the article provides a background as to why after two years of being active the program has only given services dogs to 19 veterans. It goes on to explain how veterans who suffer from PTSD would benefit from having a service dog.

I believe it is crucial for PTSD. I think there is no reason the insurance company shouldn't cover this for veterans.

Dogs can be expensive but they can be so beneficial and such a cheaper effective way to help someone in need.

Article giving insight on the Pledge of Allegiance, in light of the case "Doe v. Acton-Boxborough Regional School District". The original pledge actually did not include "Under God"! It was added in 1954.

In 1965 Students where suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam war. After a 4 year battle the Supreme Court decision Tinker v. Des Moines ruled that students do not shed their constitutional rights at the school gate. Thirty years later (article published 1999) we are still fighting for our students rights with uniforms at school.

Article on how Trump will go about systematically getting rid of abortions. Claims it will be more of a gradual process, which will result in abortions being illegal, opposed to just getting rid of Roe all together right out of the gate.

I think that the effects of this will result more in positive ways than negative.

Obviously your beliefs determine what you want to happen. Having it fall on the individual states is a good thing. Then the people of that state can really determine what they want to be legal or illegal. So the State can actually be governed by the people.

This article says how freedom is good as long as it has a common good in the end. Freedom without a good cause will end up in a "jungle"

Personal Freedom and the common good are the two things put in perspective. Gun rights versus gun control.

This website talks about how Alabama was the last state to be official in the updated laws of interracial marriage in 2000.

Is burning or desecrating the American flag a right protected by the First Amendment? Or should a new constitutional amendment outlaw both acts? The issue of desecrating the flag goes back in the courts almost 100 years. Finally in 1989, the Supreme Court decided in Texas v.

I do not think that burning the American flag is really effective as it only makes others mad. I think that people should protest if they are upset about something or believe something is unfair. I do not think that people should protest violently/aggressively, though. A lot of people protest peacefully, but some do protest violently- which only puts a harsh look on the whole situation.

I understand that there is a lot wrong with this country and people have a right to be upset with our government and how the country is right now. I feel that the flag symbolizes much more than just our country. I feel like it stands for every man and woman fighting for this country in the military. The flag symbolizes the military people that have died for us. I feel like buring the flag is complete disrespect to those that have died for our country and their families. There are so many ways to protest your beliefs about the country, there is no need to burn the flag that I feel represents the honor of those that have died for our country.

Is the loss of civil liberties worth the convenience of technology?

Technology has and will always be a huge part of my life. Having grown up with a brother heavily into gaming, programming, and IT work I got to see first hand the in's and out's of how the web works. It all comes down to how you manage your own security. Of course, there will always be the paranoia of being monitored but that has been happening for a long time. It all comes down to being cautious with what you do alone and or over technologies.

This book captures the many facets of information gathering by digital dossiers. It reminded me of the recent unveiled programs called Tempora and Prism used by the United Kingdom and NSA. The extent of these programs capacity to siphon user data iset deeply guarded and not known in detail, however the dossiers gathered by our internet traffic on an individual basis should alarm users. I belive privacy is priceless, if I told my grandfather who passed in 2006 the extent we divulge our personal information on social media he would probably find it unbelievable. He was born in 1920 became an officer in the United States Air Force and served in WW2. The idea of privacy has changed with each generation. The way we perceive the handheld devices we all carry as young as the age of 5, may seem to our greatest generation who is currently exiting our society as a mere tracking device for big brother. This reading was very informative.

This article focus on defining IEP, and its standards in schools. It gives statics on how teachers accepting children with disabilities in their classrooms, and the teacher who think its impossible to teach general children compared to children with disabilities. This article also compares the lesson plans teacher have to adjust to accommodate for children with disabilities in their class with general children.

i like the fact that no children will be left behind and that they have a right to learn to the best that they can.

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. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

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.

What does it mean to respect the dignity of a human being? What sort of support do human capacities demand from the world, and how should we think about this support when we encounter differences of gender or sexuality? How should we think about each other across divisions that a legacy of injustice has created?

This is an issue that always bothered me because I never understood why people fight against it so hard. If you don't like something it doesn't mean you have to participate in it. If you are against gay marriage then gay marriage doesn't apply to you. It's not like you will be forced to marry someone of the same gender it simply means that everyone, as stated in the constitution, receives their basic human rights. It doesn't mean you have to like it but you should at least respect the lives of other individuals who have been on the receiving end of discrimination for decades.

The authors study the refugee flows originating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They propose that a better understanding of the circumstances by the international community can be beneficial to those in great need.

Many Americans have come to see our individual freedoms as the wellspring from which national freedom is born, and thus individual freedoms are the most important. Without national freedom, there is no individual freedom, and national freedom only lasts as long as we have political freedom. National freedom is the end result of the first two freedoms, because we who value our individual and political freedom will not allow our country to be destroyed by outside forces-or by those Americans who don't believe in the full triad of freedoms.
