At the conclusion of the meeting, Spilman told the group that the Board rejected the four demands and that the selection of Zinser stood” (Gannon). When the student body learned that there conditions where rejected thing started to change within the group a bit. They where basically being told that what they wanted didn’t matter and just needed to suck it up and go home. They weren't buying it, and they didn’t believe that there was no way things could change. The next day[Tuesday] the protesters did release the main campus building but they still protested and boycotted their
They should at least know what these things are, and the book does NOT advocate drug use, it only touches upon it a couple of times, with references to marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (street names are LSD, or acid) one in which he says “I decided to never take LSD again.” A statement, which is, in fact, promoting anti-drug use, and we’re all pretty sure that’s what our government and school boards want (Red Ribbon Week, what a joke). The mild violence in the book is just mentioning a past fight and one actual fight scene, and today’s kids see that in person at least once a week at school. Look back at the facts, violence is all around us. Our world is full of
Please note that 30 of these people were adults and only three were in high school. The people that supported my thesis statement of, banning assault rifles and high capacity magazines would be pointless, had three responses. Seven people said the reason was because of rights, four people supported it because of liberty and eight people said that guns were not the problem in the first place it was the person who was in possession of the firearm. The people who disagreed to my statement also had three reasons why. Six people said they disagreed and that assault rifles and high capacity magazines should be banned because there is too much violence.
In the year 2013 the state of Florida passed a law indicating that texting and driving is now banned. Even though this law was passed, this law states that in order to get in trouble for this offense you must have to commit 2 offenses, which raised questions for civilians with how effective this law really is. Some residents feared that other residents (mostly referring to teenagers and other young and reckless drivers), will not be open minded to this law. In addition this may lead to some residents living in fear of others breaking the law, resulting in an accident, and having innocent people lose their lives over a simple text message that could have waited. The problem is some locals want to create a more improved exceeding, and stronger law, which is understanding but Florida is doing the best they can do at the moment to help prevent texting and driving.
King later pulled the book from publication after several teenage shooters quoted it or were found with copies. The author draws comparisons between his decision and the questions he said gun owners’ rights groups should be asking in the current debate over gun control. “I didn’t pull Rage from publication because the law demanded it; I was protected under the First Amendment and the law couldn’t demand it,” he writes. “I pulled it because in my judgment it might be hurting people and that made it the responsible thing to do. Assault weapons will remain readily available to crazy people until the powerful pro-gun forces in this country decide to do a similar turnaround.” King calls for three gun
When most people the of Planned Parenthood, they associate it with abortion. Pro-life supporters hate it and Mitt Romney stated that he would stop funding to the organization if he were elected into office. You can ride pass the Planned Parenthood on Poplar any day of the week and you will surely see abortion protesters outside picketing. What they do not realize is that this organization is not just aimed toward pregnant women who are contemplating abortion, but also toward men and
“Moreover, this procedure should include medical checks, full criminal history, and a police interview to prove they actually need a gun.” (Ceperkovic January 3, 2013) As said in this article, people should actually need a real reason to have a gun, not just for self-defense against any one. Police usually are only in possession of a 9-millimeter semi automatic gun with them, so I do not see why a civilian could have more for no reason. In a study from Harvard in 1999 people in their community begin to feel less safe if people begin to carry guns. Also 90% of Americans believe that civilians should not be able to take guns into public
Connie Walker Growing up I never really had to face racism, when you are a kid you don’t know the difference if Someone is calling you the “N” word all you know is that they are talking bad. As I got older I started Understanding what they were talking about and saying. Ignorance or stupid is what I called it, when People act the way they do, And say what they say! I wish the world wasn’t the way it is today, I Watch the news and read the paper and all you read and watch is someone getting killed behind Racism. Please stop the killing in today’s world our generation today don’t care what color you are As long as they act violence towards another race.
I go to work for the United States Marine Corps and when I have to show my driver license for some reason, usually to a Sergeant, they will start laughing and say “you were a stoner before the Corps, weren’t you”. My friends, who actually know who I am, would know that I would never smoke weed. Now because of their own perception of me on social media (and my driver’s license) my identity is
It is not realistic to expect people to completely stop using mobile devices in vehicles. There are many ways to reduce this phenomenon including: Legislation, public education and technological improvements (Ba-Masq 2013). Therefore all 50 states should have standardized some sort of regulation prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving. In December of 2011, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) unanimously recommended that all states ban the use of cell phones and other portable electronics by automobile drivers. Though the board cannot enact regulations itself, its suggestions are taken serious by lawmakers.
