Although the share of black children in segregated schools had dropped to 62.9 percent by the early 1980s, the subsequent lack of commitment by the federal government and multiple Supreme Court decisions antagonistic to school desegregation have led to a reversal," notes EPI.
Why does that matter? "Promoting school integration is important because — now as a half century ago — segregated schools are unequal schools," the report adds. "The more non-white students a school has the fewer resources it has. A 10 percent-point increase in the share of non-white students in a school is associated with a $75 decrease in per student spending."

Genesis
Most of the Bible 's teachings about women are based upon the foundation laid in Genesis. It doesn 't matter whether we interpret the creation story in Genesis literally or figuratively; God 's intentions for men and women are spelled out clearly.
God created the woman as a helper for the man:
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (NIV, Genesis 2:18)
However, being a helper does not imply that the woman was inferior or subservient to the man; the same Hebrew word, `ezer, translated as helper, is used to describe God, Himself, in Psalms 33:20, 70:5, 115:9-11. In fact, God created both men and women in His own image and made them equal custodians of all His creation:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)
It is not clear in what sense the husband was to rule over his wife, and this been the subject of much debate. Regardless of how Eve 's punishment was originally intended, this passage is key to understanding later Biblical teachings about women. The punishments on both Adam and Eve were clearly imposed by God Himself; God did not reduce women to inferior status, nor did He command men to rule harshly over their wives. However, in the course of history, it has sometimes been thought that God 's punishment of Eve was justification for degradation and subjugation of …show more content…

Women such as Deborah, Esther, Hannah, Huldah, Jochebed, Miriam, Noadiah, Rachel, Rebekah, Rahab, Ruth, and Sarah played important and decisive roles in Israel 's history.
As evidence of the equality of men and women, the Ten Commandments require children to honor both their father and mother:
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. (NAS, Exodus

As I read Goddesses, Whores, Wives and Slaves by Sarah Pompey its cleared that the generalization towards ladies had in actuality developed from mythology that torment our general public today. Myths are conventional stories that endeavor to understand the world. They regularly incorporate some exceptionally fundamental convictions about existence, society, and what parts men and ladies play in a society. The way that these stories got to be conventional and were passed on starting with one era then onto the next demonstrates the imperative part they played in transmitting a society's states of mind. What's more, as Sarah Pomeroy composes, "the myths of the past shaped the states of mind of progressive more modern eras and saved the coherence

In the Book of Genesis Abraham knows that his wife, Sarah, can not bear children so she offers him her slave. This shows that the slave girl has no power because she is being used just to have a child. Woman are seen as objects in the Bible while their are sees as a way to have a spiritual connection to their Gods in Gilgamesh. In Gilgamesh, they view fertility as a foundation of society because instead of planting a seed into the ground, it is the connection man has with woman and planting a seed in her to create life. It is obvious there is a distinction between both woman and sex and how it is betrayed in the Bible and Gilgamesh because the Bible focuses on women as objects and to be used for sex while the story of Gilgamesh uses woman for sex as a spiritual

So far in the stories we have reviewed, women have played roles of intelligence, power, and control. In the genesis story, “The First Sin and its Punishment” Eve shows her power and independence through her decision to listen to the serpent, disobeying the Biblical God and risking “death”, a term that was unknown to her. To our knowledge she made this decision without consulting Adam, she simply took it and ate is, then “she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate (Genesis 3:6).” This shows that Eve had a great deal of influence over Adam. Adam knew what the Biblical God had warned against, and what the possible consequences were, but he had nothing to say to the serpent and did not resist when Eve handed him the forbidden fruit.

Phyllis Trible goal to the women activists, women liberation movement is that the bible is not against women. She also speculates that women may be senior to men, and there is a need for reviewing the verses. I agree with Trible’s arguments that the bible does not discriminate against women. Adham, from which was translated for Hebrew, with regards to Genesis chapter2, verse 7, is alleged to be a man. However, Trible claims that Adham was a unisexual being that was in existence before man was made (Rich Para 1).

One thing that I 've noticed that is strongly argued against in this day and age is the gender roles in the Bible, more specifically in Genesis one through three. The first time we hear about male and female is in the following quote from the bible "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” That line off the bat quickly shows that God created male and female to be inferior to animals and wildlife. God looks at himself very highly so if we created man and woman in his own image that means he thinks very highly of them. He doesn 't say that Man is better than women or vice versa which gives the thought that they are equal to each other.

The segregation of schools based on a students skin color was in place until 1954. On May 17th of that year, during the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, it was declared that separate public schools for black and white students was unconstitutional. However, before this, the segregation of schools was a common practice throughout the country. In the 1950s there were many differences in the way that black public schools and white public schools were treated with very few similarities. The differences between the black and white schools encouraged racism which made the amount of discrimination against blacks even greater.

For example on page 160 of the Chavalas book, women could not serve as witnesses in legal cases and their testimony was often overlooked. In cases of divorce on page 154, women were often at a disadvantage and could be easily divorced by their husbands without cause. In Mesopotamian law, marriage was seen as a contract between two families, and the primary purpose of marriage was to produce children and secure family alliances. Women were often married at a young age and had limited say in the choice of their partners. Once married, women were expected to fulfill their roles as wives and mothers and were often subject to the control of their husbands.

In the following readings, Genesis and The Epic of Gilgamesh, women are perceived as subjects towards men. For example, in Genesis the first woman to be created by God is Eve and in The Epic of Gilgamesh the harlot Shamhat. Both characters are subjected to obey men in a point of their stories because it is the norm of the society of which these texts are written in. Even though both texts were written in the same part of the world, modern middle east, Genesis is the creation story of earth that was written in modern day middle east during Babylonian Exile of the 6th century BC, while The Epic of Gilgamesh was, however written in a different time, dating back to c. 2000 BC. Genesis was written before The Epic of Gilgamesh, which means that the norm of women being submissive towards men originated from Genesis to The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Nicholas Vidrine Prof. Smith English 1158 13 March 2018 Why Co-ed Schools are Better Co-ed schools can be more beneficial than single sexed schools because it can lead to the development and growth with the opposite sex. I have experience from both sides of this topic and I feel that having a co-ed school makes the groups or friendships throughout those years of school worth it. When a student goes into a co-ed environment, they experience a new outlook on life because there is some sort of new competition or thought outlook on their lives. Getting involved into a co-ed school has many benefits and they will help you greatly later in life.
