Likening such statements to fraud, defamation, or lies to government agencies, all of which can be prohibited consistent with the First Amendment, the dissenters argued that the government should have a free hand to prosecute those who lie about having earned military honors. The dissenters recognized that false statements may be protected when laws restricting them might chill otherwise protected speech, but argued that the Stolen Valor Act does not implicate that concern because the subject matter of the lies does not relate to any protected
266, that a petition to a Government official was actionable if prompted by "express malice," which was defined as "falsehood and the absence of probable cause," and nothing has been presented to suggest that that holding should be altered. Nor do the Court's decisions interpreting the Petition Clause in contexts other than defamation indicate that the right to petition is absolute.

It appears that testing is a waste of time, but in reality, it prepares students for future success. Another question that occurs is: What are students gaining from these different tests each year?

Maybe these tests are teaching students accountability and responsibility, two vital tools for success in life. Within in the article, “No Child Left Behind: Test-Obsessed Education Won’t Move Us Ahead” the author, David Marshak, slashes the No Child Left Behind Act.
As human beings, we know that prejudice and stereotyping is not going to stop because this is the way of the world. Multiculturalists are working hard for reform of curriculum in schools, because they think that the school system is not working as it should. Multiculturalists feel that minority groups are the ones who take the most abuse in school (just because of their race). Based upon my experience in education I will apply this content in my classroom by teaching my students about bullying, sexual harassment, and race. Multiculturalists believe that the reform will lead to a more fair educational system, because this can help assist us in preparing our future leaders to be able to live and work in a peaceful diverse society.

In Justice Scalia dissection she announces that the court described petitioners conduct as an exercise of their liberty which it is. “Before the Medieval period early Romans tolerated alternative sexual practices, such as masturbation in males and females and homosexuality.
Promoting Ethical Behavior through Student Codes of Conduct Sonya Purvis, Stacy Sage, Steve Forrester, Thomas Whiteley II, William Green Jr., and Tamara Montgomery University of Phoenix Student Codes of Conduct “A Texas school's new honor code that discourages plagiarism copies word-for-word parts of BYU's honor code. Students who drafted the honor code at the University of Texas at San Antonio apparently failed to credit their sources.” (KSL News, 2008) This was an oversight on the students part, but it shows the need for some ethical education. Student codes of conduct or honor codes can provide the basis for this education. While some cheating still exists, student codes of conduct are effective tools in the academic environment promoting responsible behavior that creates an orderly and safe learning environment, and promotes good ethics. The U.S. Constitution is the main law of the land.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. John and Mary are having an impasse with prayer in schools. The First Amendment protects both the believers and non-believers by being neutral about belief.
