Abortion: Why Is It Bad? "It is equally as heinous
intentionally to kill a human being in existence
at fertilization, as to kill a born child. "
Nellie Gray. Abortion is a very controversial
subject that has been continually argued over for

Lies My Teacher Told Me By James Loewen

Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen James W.
Loewen, in my opinion, makes a very valid argument
in Lies My Teacher Told Me. He argues that
teaching (of history) today relies too much on the
textbooks which glorify the United States and its
imperfect leaders and heroes. His examples, in
fact, are very surprising to those most
unfamiliar, or deceived, in their understanding of
American History and are painfully obvious to
those fairly educated in the events of our nations
past. Personally, I a...

Martin Luther King Affirmative Action

Every person in this room will take or has taken
the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT. This test is
basically used to determine who will succeed in
college and who wont. Sounds simple doesnt it?
Because each person takes a variation of the same
test, the scores can help separate students with
almost equal credentials. So you would figure that
if you were competing with someone for acceptance
to a college and you received a 1300 and the other
person, with equal qualifications, received a
1200, yo...

Equal Protection Clause Separate But Equal
314 words
In 1896 the Supreme Court had held in Please v.
Ferguson that racial segregation was permissible
as long as equal facilities were provided for both
races. Although that decision involved only
passenger accommodations on a rail road, the
principle of " separate but equal" was
applied thereafter to all aspects of public life
in states with large black populations. Brown v.
Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, decided on
May 17, 1954, was one of the most important cases
in the history of...

reflected the attitude in the North as opposed to
