  •  
    The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss.

    I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.
  •  
    No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.
  •  
    the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.

Marriage for Same-Sex Couples | American Civil Liberties Union - 1 views

  •  
    Under equal protection, same sex couples should have the freedom and support to marry their loved ones. Religious faiths that are opposed to the idea are free to not support the couples. Under DOMA each state was given the right to define marriage.
  •  
    If same sex couples meet the set forth requirements to be a common law couple they should be able to marry and be treated equally.
  •  
    Provisions of DOMA were recently struck down which gave same sex couples equal protection under federal laws. A recent development that's getting little attention is churches are changing their bylaws to protect themselves from lawsuits by the LGBT community. The bylaws are taking up where DOMA was struck down, declaring the church only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.
