Censorship of Books in School Should people be able to deny a student’s freedom to read any book they want to at school? Every time an adult bans a book, children lose the chance to gain knowledge from it. The students’ outlook on the world becomes narrower as they lose access to an insightful piece of literature, and prohibiting books like that limits a students’ access to fantastic literary texts. Book censorship in schools limits the education of minors, and the students’ can’t receive the full knowledge inside. Book banning has a huge negative effect on how students live, at school as well as at home.
Reporters in Vietnam were mostly inexperienced. This enabled the Kennedy administration to control news management more effectively. The relatively new press corps began to question tactics, but didn’t challenge U. S. involvement in what was seen as a civil war.10 With the first recommendation to send in combat troops, the deception of policy and managing the news came into play. In November 1961 Kennedy received a report requesting 6,000 to 8,000 personnel, including combat troops, be sent to Vietnam. Although there was attention in the media to the report, Kennedy was able to keep it out of the news by declining to send in combat troops.
In the Tinker vs. Des Moines case, which I believe to be similar, student wore armbands to protest Vietnam. They were quiet and passive and did not make a boast about what they were doing but kept it to themselves. They had their freedom of opinion and speech taken away because of a policy in the school to protest it. In the case of Hazelwood vs. Kuhlmeier I can understand the principle take out the designated pages to pregnant and divorcee students because that is against the privacy of the students and is not fair to the opinions of the parents who cannot speak out their opinions. When it comes to a person’s privacy, unless it was agreed upon by the person being written about, it is against the law and unconstitutional to the person rights for privacy.
Heroes or Villains There are many possibilities of debatable issues concerning veterans. The Vietnam Veterans, in my opinion, were not welcomed home in an honorable way—as I believe they should have been. They were not welcomed back with open arms and parades like they deserved as recognition for their time and efforts to help our country. As a result of this, many vets did not get the mental of physical help that the majority of them desperately needed. Many suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and countless other physical ailments that went unnoticed by the general public.
Before the Vietnam war the main round our military used was the 7.62x63mm round. During the Vietnam war we phased out the M14 rifle in the 7.62x63mm round to the M16 in the 5.56x45mm which is the godfather of today's M16A2 and the M4 carbine. As of now the old 7.62x63mm (.30-06) is not used but we do have an equivalent which is the 7.62x51mm NATO. This round was considered too powerful and has too much recoil to be used for basic combat and urban warfare. Currently it is used for sniping applications which more power and range is required.
Someday, I didn’t even wanted to go to school because my teachers used to use a strong punishment for students who come to class and they’re not prepared. The most difficult part was for me was pronunciation since my major was “English” and we usually don’t practice English in my country except for “ doctors” and “engineering” I had many words that couldn’t even read neither pronounce it. I think that our minds must be area or gap for choice about how to think in order to understand things well as Ho thoughtful about children’s mind in the article 2. Which of Ho’s ideas
The military condition deteriorated, and by 1963 South Vietnam had lost the fertile Mekong Delta to the Vietcong. In 1965, Johnson escalated the war, commencing air strikes on North Vietnam and committing ground forces, which numbered 536,000 in 1968. The 1968 Tet Offensive by the North Vietnamese turned many Americans against the war. The next president, Richard Nixon, advocated Vietnamization, withdrawing American troops and giving South Vietnam greater responsibility for fighting the war. His attempt to slow the flow of North Vietnamese soldiers and supplies into South Vietnam by sending American forces to destroy Communist supply bases in Cambodia in 1970 in violation of Cambodian neutrality provoked antiwar protests on the nation’s college campuses.
In the modern day, the Vietnam War is considered one of the biggest mistakes by the American government and nation through the Cold War era, if not the greatest. The cause of the war is often disputed amongst historians, where there were many factors that led to the escalation and perseverance of such a terrible war. Although it is generally agreed that a large amount of responsibility for the war should be attributed to President Johnson, there is debate to what extent the president is responsible. The most significant fact; Johnson was the president that got America into the Vietnam War. No other president had the will or even really considered sending in American soldiers into Vietnam.
Many students graduate from U.S. high school with undocumented status-that is, they are not legal to stay in the United States. However, they study hard in school and stay out of trouble. In Maxwell’s article, she points out President Obama will help youths
