Gisselle Zepeda Mr. Lievre American Government Credit 5 Board of Education of Westside Community Schools Versus Mergens The Equal Access Act upheld by the Supreme Court in Board of Education v. Mergens, 1990, requires public secondary schools to allow access to religiously based student groups on the same basis as other student clubs. The school administration denied a group of students their right to create a Christian after school club.

The impactfulness of Jane Elliott's exercise is very evident with her third grade class. The accomplishment of permanently teaching children not to judge based on appearance over a few days is must not be overlooked. Bringing even more astonishing is the effect the exercise had on the children’s test scores, all of which achieved a higher average than before.

She drops Emma off at home to scold Emma, saying, “Well, I certainly won’t be dropping work every time you and your grandmother are too negligent to take care of Emma. I know you and Tyrone had an informal arrangement.but you best believe that if he ever chooses to challenge that arrangement in court, I will ensure this incident is put on the record”(Acevedo, 256). This scolding gives Emani a reality check, that if she continues to rely on Abuela to parent her daughter, she will be in less control of how her daughter is taken care of and raised. Although she cannot change anything at the moment, due to her busy schedule, the scolding brings awareness to her that the coordination must change.
As I have grown up, I have heard many stories of my mom’s family. Stories of her sister, her mom, her dad. . . I know I haven’t heard it all. I’ve heard of her brother trying to stab her, of her dad emotionally manipulating her as she grew up, and of her mom not doing anything to stop it. Because of this, she doesn’t talk to them much.

Emma is one of those girls who is very popular at school and cares about her friends and family, but doesn’t care about much else. She is a really nice sister, but she can get to be a pain sometimes. Emma is actually a decent student though, no matter what people think about the “popular group” of kids at school, Emma is part of them and still a good student. She normally gets Bs and B+s for grades, and listens and learns when necessary. Did I mention that she can be a pain?
“Sam and I can stay home alone. Everything would be fine and we can manage ourselves,” I said convincingly. “Not going to happen,” she replied. She thought about allowing us stay with friends, but felt that it might be a bit intrusive to throw us into another family’s life for a whole week. They then asked my grandparents and they were available to come and stay with us.
