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.

There are many government vocabulary that can be connected to this article specifically. One example that comes to mind is reapportionment. Reapportionment means the act of redistributing or changing …show more content…

I believe that everyone deserves to have a say in any situation. In these types of scenarios, everyone is not treated equal. In the article one person says” I don’t see where having multiple votes is going to change that or impact that,”(Pg.2.Par.5) This is one example that i believe with. Having more people vote would not harm the system that they already have. Having this “one person, one principal”(Pg.4 Par.1) does not make everyone equal, especially the schools with more people than others. When everyone is not given a chance, it begins to create a more flawed system which can lead to disaster.

In conclusion, having this law passed could help all in the future. Equality is something that everyone deserves to have in their life. The VHSL is not giving the people what they believe is right and they are then creating a crack in the system. Schools that are at a disadvantage are in a bad place because of the fact that not everyone in that school will have the opportunity to vote. With all these factors and facts together, passing the bill will benefit everyone and will help make more efficient decision making process and there will no longer be this divide between the VHSL and the

Notаbly absent from the opinion, as it was in Plessy, is any citаtion to a Supreme Court cаse that considered whether the prаctice of segregating schools was a violation of the Fourteenth Аmendment. It was an open question for the Court. The Court аdmitted that the precedent to which it cited involved discriminаtion between whites and blacks rаther thаn other rаces. However, the Court found no аppreciable difference here—"the decision is within the discretion of the state in regulating its public schools, and does not conflict with the Fourteenth Аmendment."

In document 3, it states that when Alexis de Tocqueville arrived to the United States he said “I was surprised to find so much distinguished talent among the subjects, and so little among the heads of the government.” This states that having common people vote would make sense, and benefit the government.

The students at Saltillo are not allowed to use lockers, but should be; they are allowed to be exempt from exams, but should not be. This might seem like a good thing to many students, but it actually the opposite. When the students who make A’s and B’s in high school make it to college, they have no clue how to study for, or take an exam, because they never had to before. By not forcing students to take exams, Saltillo High School is failing to fully prepare their students for life outside of high school.

We see multiple successes of voting equality attempted through amendments, however, the Supreme Court’s decision on Shelby County v. Holder has pushed back years and years of effort for voting rights. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling was in Shelby County’s favor, stating that the Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional along with Section 5. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr, who wrote the majority’s opinion, said that the power to regulate election was reserved to the states, not the federal government. As a result to the court’s decision, the federal government can no longer determine which voting law discriminates and can be passed. After the case, many states had freely passed new voting laws; the most common voting law states passed

Board of Education is a very important landmark case. This case addressed the constitutionality of segregation in public schools back in the early 1950s.

The ACLU would most likely file a lawsuit against any version of this policy if passed because they will say that it violates the separation of church and state because some of the schools that will take students using vouchers provided by the government. A potential harm of this policy is that is it could make it more difficult for children in heavily isolated areas to receive these higher levels of education because it will be difficult for them to have access to a private school. Students in these portions of the state are more likely to be the ones who need public schools than students that live in urban areas. While they will still receive a better education than before, it might not reach the level of the education being received by those in private

The state’s legislature must come up with a solution to fix this issue that the majority of the citizens are clearly concerned about.

This is a biggest question that I always want to ask people. Since the 1960s, the US Supreme Court has established a standard for equal representation in a democracy, which is “one person, one vote.” As a Chinese immigrant and had been living in a communism country for 15 years. To be honest, I do not understand how one vote is representing people’s voice in election and how one vote is representing democracy. Can one vote affect the final result in election?
