Alfonzo once again claimed that Commerce Clause which is basically where Congress is granted separate power, which Alfonzo thought was a direct violation of the Constitution Of The Unites States. The Fifth Circuit overturned the original conviction by stating the charges and the laws are past the powers of the Congress and in response to that the U.S. government then appealed to the Supreme court. The reason they did this was so the Commerce Laws could stay in effect. The Governments argument was the possession of a firearm on or within a school facility would likely be to commit a act of violence which would effect the school and how it is run and also the well being of the population, and because of all this the government believe that the commerce clause should be upheld.

Moore is a popular figure in the American media for his work, which includes the documentaries "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Bowling for Columbine." "Idiot Nation" appears in Moore's book "Stupid White Men...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!" first published in 2001. In this essay, Moore critiques the state of American education and how he believes the nation has become ignorant, an "idiot" state of mind, like he likes to call it. Moore believes that politicians, from state legislatures to the President, prefer to fund projects and war efforts while cutting funding to educational things.
Linda Borgen RWS 280 June 17, 2010 Word Count: 1,272 Cheaters, Liars, and Imposters, Oh My! Growing up, do you remember hearing the phrase, “honesty is the best policy?” Our society has lost the mentality of being honest in order to succeed and get ahead in life, even if it means they must go against their morals and cheat. David Callahan, a political science professor and speaker of an academic lecture “On Campus: Author Discusses the ‘Cheating Culture’ with College Students,” claims that American society has taken root in the “cheating culture,” that welcomes and praises those who have chosen to conform to cheating. This occurs in business, in sports, and in academia and as a result, they have all become more competitive in a “winner take all society” (par. 18).
Grade Inflation: Misnomer One of the most controversial and most widely argued academic ethics issues throughout the past half century has been grade inflation. Educators, students, journalists, and analysts widely differ. Some argue that grade inflation is a serious and universal issue and needs to be addressed at a national level; others believe that grade inflation is nonsense and that what needs to be addressed are grading problems that exist at particular schools at given times. First of all, this paper intends to demonstrate that grade inflation, as applied by its proponents, is a misnomer, a mistaken way of viewing and addressing grading problems that exist in certain educational institutes at given times. Secondly, grade inflation is founded on an improperly formulated and erroneous assumption that students’ achievements can be empirically calculated, at least with currently used methods.
The book then goes on to disqualify many of common myths about marijuana and uses scientific studies along with logic and expert opinions to give weight to their claims. Afterwards the authors explain that with the current system of penalties we have for drinking alcohol versus consuming cannabis, the law is driving us to make the unhealthier choice of drinking alcohol; they then explain the consequences of this action.

This process is done usually by institutions of giving preference to racial minorities or women when hiring, giving awards, or deciding whom to admit. Preferential treatment, instead of doing justice: violates right; the right of an applicant “to equal consideration”, the right to maximally competent to an open position, and the right of everyone to equal opportunity. Affirmative action is reverse discrimination it does the same injustice that the Jim Crow discrimination did, by violating the public equality which defines citizenship. Colleges may soon have to revamp the decades old efforts to promote racial diversity after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to reconsider the constitutionality of affirmative action in admissions. But no matter how the court acts, recent history shows that when courts or new laws restrict affirmative action, colleges try to find other ways to increase minority admission.

In the past our country justified racial segregation. Special education was used as a means of classifying and segregating the immigrant population of Irish, Italians, Germans, Russians, and others flooding the schools and isolating them from the more established Americans (Sarason and Doris, 1979). Placement into such programs was used as a control mechanism based on stereotypes, prejudiced beliefs, and fears (Thomas, 1986). Even though it is illegal today to segregate students it seems to be occurring in a subtle way through special education. According to Williams-Dixon (1991), such placements may constitute a new version of segregation and discrimination by sentencing minority students to special
