    This article describes how HOA's got so bad as to the police being called when their rules are violated and the fact that they wouldn't allow someone to build a deck on their house. This would be the point when they go too far with not letting homeowners make any type of changes to their house.

    In the last 10 years, it has become more acceptable and easier to adopt if you're a single man or openly gay or lesbian. Before attitudes began changing, though, that group of citizens were generally only able to adopt if they hid their sexual identity. While there are still a couple of states where it's illegal for gays or lesbians to adopt, including Florida and Virginia, most state laws now reflect the shift in social attitude and recognize an equal ability to provide a good home regardless of sexual orientation.

    Many business are using new technology such as biometric finger scans and facial recognition to make sure employees are free of criminal history and are allowed to have computer access. People are concerned about the privacy issues that go along with facial recognition. Once the business gets a facial scan they can look up other personal information such as phone numbers, social network accounts, and home address.

    I had a friend once that worked for a hardware store. He told me that the place had a camera by the front door with facial recognition. He was told that was so that they knew if ex-employees came back into the store. I'm not sure what they had to worry about, and I thought that was very unusual.

    The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a fifth graders right to distribute invitations to her church's Christmas party. The school had banned the student from distributing the invitations citing the invitations contained religious materials. The court's decision was based on the First Amendment's right to free speech.

    This is wrong. Children just want to have fun and celebrate holidays together. I feel like holding children back from celebrating what they believe in can make them feel ashamed in their beliefs. This reminds me of how in most schools, kids aren't even allowed to bring in home made snacks for birthdays and its disturbing.

    Children just know it's a party and that the picture on the card is pretty. What if the invitation had a Jewish or Medieval Norse design would they have gone after it the same way. Was it only because the party was for his church. This is just silly.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    Yes, invitations should not play a role in school policies. Taking the freedom of creativity from the child would be a dishonor to their freedom.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    I find that the student should be able to hand out invitations to a Christmas party as long as she isn't putting down other students beliefs or religious views why should this innocent act be banned?
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    I agree that student's should be able to learn of and encourage the religious beliefs of their classmates. How do we expect to raise well rounded individuals if we raise them to treat religion with such a hush hush attitude?
  • Nicolas Buenrostro on 02 Sep 13
     
    Being in a public school system, no religion should be enforced at all. These were Christmas invitations, inviting the students to a church event imposing the Christian belief system. This could have been done outside of school or elsewhere. This situation would only be okay if it was conducted in a private religious school, where public money does not fund the institution.

    This is an interesting subject. The overall education of the student is most important. But the fact that a student is limited to one school because of their location or parents' financial situation isn't all that fair, so it would be nice for parents to be able to use funding for their student to go to the school of their choice (public or private).
  • Theresa gruman on 02 Sep 13
     
    I understand why you have to go to school close to where you live especially if you don't have much money. A child needs a reliable eduction and if the parent lives to far and doesn't have much money it will make it hard on the parent and child to go to school. My dad is a High school teacher a Central High school here in Phoenix and has to deal with a lot. He finds that the students who live further away with less money tend to drop out or fail class due to not being able to afford bus passes or gas money. It truly is a sad thing but I believe going to school close to your home is best way to go in the long run.

    It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.
  • Nicolas Buenrostro on 02 Sep 13
     
    Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

    Families in Birmingham, Alabama who are illegal and speak spanish are feeling the need to take thier kids out of school to avoid any law breaking. The superintendent realized many students were not showing up to school so had to adress all the spanish speakers by a tv show in spanish. This news report would help the families be aware that the students or the families would not be punished or be sent back to their home country.

    This article is a one sided opinion of a celebrity that owned a pit bull that attacked his toddler, wife and guest in their home. Now that the dog is quarantined and scheduled for euthanasia the pet owner feels remorse. He began looking into facilities that would be willing to take on the troubled pet. Many of these facilities have little or no vacancies available. Many of the facilities would rather take non biting dogs than dogs with behavior issues with humans.
