Fifth Grader's Right to Distribute Christmas Invitations at School Upheld - 0 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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?
  •  
    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?
  •  
    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.

    Native Americans and the US Government have been in an ongoing dispute. Many may be biased to what side they agree or disagree with only because it is a issue that the United States rarely talks about. This gives a deeper understanding of what happened in both ends of the party.

Libertarians And Gay Marriage - 0 views

  •  
    With the help of libertarians New York was the largest state to legalize same sex marriage. New York is only the sixth state to legalize same sex marriage. Many power officials were reprimanded for speaking out against same sex marriage. Same sex marriage has also affected some religious adoption agencies. A catholic adoption agency has been reprimanded for refusing the adoption to a same sex family.
  •  
    This article shows how the Libertarian party has very conflicting views regarding same sex marriage. On one hand, same sex marriage corresponds with the Libertarian motto. On the other hand, however, many Libertarians are torn between their party's motto and what they inherently believe to be "true marriage."

Arizona bill would compel hospitals to check immigration status - 0 views

  •  
    The healthcare system should really be able to check the immigration status of patients, from experience it makes it uncomfortable for others in the hospital. We recently went into the hospital and it felt like a party was going on in labor and delivery waiting room when there was about 20 people in there screaming at a football game. No matter how many times the nurse went in, the noise did not go away at all.

    The Second Amendment was put into the constitution for a reason and it is still relevant to this day. Many opposing gun rights want to interpret the constitution and make changes. This document should stay unchanged and upheld.

Obama wins back the right to indefinitely detain under NDAA - 2 views

  •  
    This article explains what the NDAA legislation is all about. Explaining that the president can in fact detain anyone accused of terrorism or terrorism affiliation with out due process.

  •  
    I don't think the majority will really have a problem with this. If your affiliating yourself with terrorist, yea you should be worried.
  •  
    The problem with legislature like this is the government will have permission to detain anyone without actual proof. Your cousin Steve could be locked up and there's nothing you can do about it. Not everyone accused of a crime is guilty, and under the NDAA, it won't matter. Guilty or innocent, you can be detained. Not only is this a violation of your Constitutional rights, it's one step close to Fascism.
  •  
    I agree with Erika. It's a slippery slope. The government can define a terrorist as an extreme Muslin organization today and the Tea Party tomorrow.

    We are the freest when the Constitution is followed and upheld by our government. Often the need someone to administer checks and balances on them. Our Constitution is the law throughout the land and equally founded by the principle that distinguishes America from other countries.
