Nicholas Kristof’s “3 Peerless Republicans for President: Trump, Carson and Fiorina”, deems the leading candidates from the Grand Old Party unfit for presidency, and the public’s fixation with them a temporary affair. Multiple previous controversies being detailed, and the use notably bleak statistics help undermine the contenders while urging voters to look elsewhere. Kristof utilizes harsh diction with a simple, yet critical tone to denounce the trio, and further his own
Although Lau v. Nichols had a positive impact on the education of non-English-speaking students, the Supreme Court stopped short of making revisions that would force school district to reexamine the school board’s illegal practices. The Supreme Court didn’t give the SFUSD a clear directive regarding provisions of specific programs that would satisfy Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This shortcoming keeps the debate alive as to whether or not appropriate programs for non-English-speaking students have been implemented correctly throughout the Unites States. Discussions are still prevalent in school districts, state legislatures, and
This shows that after this case study, it was established that US Citizens have the right to a K-12 education, one that is equally funded so that all students are learning on a level playing field. For this case study, the Texas Supreme Court established the right for students to receive a public school education Texas citizens have the responsibility to take action against an issue they find unconstitutional, either by voting or joining an interest group.
Introduction: You are sitting at your desk, taking notes from a teacher, and learning about the Revolutionary war. All of a sudden, you are banned from school and ripped from your studies, all because you believed in Gandhi’s non-violent movements. This same case happened to the Tinker students in Des Moines, Iowa. In the year 1965, the time of the Vietnam war, a group of students came together and wore black armbands with a white peace sign embeded on the side. These armbands were banned by the principals and the school board, with the punishment of suspension until the student was willing to take the armband off.
“The students alleged that Westside 's refusal violated the Equal Access Act, which requires that schools in receipt of federal funds provide "equal access" to student groups seeking to express "religious, political, philosophical, or other content" messages” (Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens by and Through Mergens). Many still argue today that Westside 's prohibition against the Christian club, consistent with the Establishment Clause, makes the Equal Access Act unconstitutional.
Evidence + Argument Lewinsky uses a diverse mix of ethos, logos and pathos to make her persuasive point that we cannot sit idly by when cyberbullying occurs right in front of us. Ethos, as discussed in the previous section, is a speaker’s credibility. Ethos is not something automatic, it must be established and actively cultivated by the presenter (Keith & Lundberg 39). Logos and pathos are evidence and emotional appeals, respectively, and form the core of the speech’s content (Beebe & Beebe 203). The personal narratives that Lewinsky weaves are able to effectively connect with both of those core concepts, especially as she defines exactly what the consequences were.
Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education 2005 Kirsten Dooley Liberty High School AP Government 2A Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education was a U.S. Supreme Court case surrounding sex discrimination and people who face retaliation for trying to uphold Title IX of the Education Amendments. Roderick Jackson was a high school girls’ basketball coach at Ensley High school that was fired after complaining that his team was denied equal treatment as far as funding and access to equipment. Jackson sued for retaliation, and the case would be heard in the Supreme Court in 2005. This case was important in deciding that those who are retaliated against for arguing sex discrimination, even though they may not have faced it themselves,
In 1974, Non-English speaking Chinese students filed a class action suit against the San Francisco Unified School District and Alan H. Nichols. The students stated that they were immersed in all-English classes with no accommodations or resources that enabled them to become proficient in English. The Supreme Court concluded that not providing instructional support or materials for non-English students is unacceptable. Moreover, the school district was not complying with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits institutions who are receiving federal aid to discriminate a person’s characteristics such as color, race, or national origin.
The VHSL(The Virginia High School League) is highly disliked by many school districts and people. In this article,people are not on board with the one man policy, one vote which helps schools with having a say in school changes. They believe that the system is not structured to help the schools make decision that could affect them as well. The schools want to pass a law that gives them more of a voice when it comes to the school rules and regulations. If the bill does get passed, it would change the voting structure for all schools in the future.
This relates to the United States because the United States are trying to control the things we get educated about in school. According to UCLA, “Many are concerned that the bill will not only result in restricted or nonexistent education about the existence of diverse sexual and gender identities, but it will result in a chilly or hostile school climate for LGBTQ educators, students, and families because it suggests that something is wrong with LGBTQ identities……. Over 16% of LGBTQ parents have already taken steps to move their families out of the state”
Walking through the hallways at school you have the opportunity to see all different kinds of diversity. People of all different races, genders, and religions surround you everyday. Being a part of the community and being a good citizen means including and accepting the people around you. And not treating them any differently than you would want to be treated yourself. Loretta Lynch’s speech, “Address Announcing Complaint Against North Carolina et al re Transgender Law” uses pathos and ethos to advocate for the transgender community to allow them to use the gendered bathroom they are comfortable in.
In many states, however, sex and gender are excluded’, [...] ‘State laws that exclude sex and gender will be unconstitutional under the ERA,’” (Rodia, 18). Even though some states protect equal rights for all sexes and genders, other states do not. This proves that the US needs an amendment in the Constitution so that these equal rights will and have to be protected by all states. Another issue is that these rights are not permanent.
Yep, all valid points.. I mean, it 's just about everyone having the same rights as the person next to them. It 's well known I am not the first one out the door with sparkalers when it comes to gay pride.. I didn 't even know the the ruling happened until I logged into facebook last night and saw one of my friend 's bashing comments about it. Pride is pride, everyone has the right to equal rights, regardless of race, gender, oriontation.
Board of Education case is that I support the reason for the case to be filed. I believe that everyone is equal in race and gender. A person should not be denied the rights they are legally given. If you are a U.S. citizen, you are just as equal as the person next to you. It is unfair for one’s opinion to be the reason why an individual does not get an education, transportation, or enter any public facility.
In 2015, the Obergefell v. Hodges case ended the “state bans on same-sex marriage”, therefore legalizing same-sex marriage (Important Supreme Court Cases). Now, “same-sex couples can now receive the benefits...of marriage that were largely exclusive to heterosexual couples” (Koch). The ruling has led to the modern fight for gay civil rights. Exposure to the LGBTQ+ community, the southern “Bathroom Bills”, and other fights for transgender rights, and the press for more LGBTQ+ representation in the media has erupted from this case. Both rulings had very big impacts on their respective communities.
