I never really thought of the confederate flag as anything  but a racial flag. But that was mainly because the impression of the racial bashing was all I was told that it was for.
I feel like the writers opinion is pretty influencial and informitive.

1.  Do you believe this is a frivolous law suit?  Why or why not? i think the lawsuit is ridiculous.

2,  On another note, do you believe the men who toppled the rock should be charged with destruction of property?  Why or Why not? 

I don't think he should be in trouble with the boulder but he should be in trouble for fraud.

School and Educational Issues

There are plenty of different opinions and things that could be complained about at everyone’s school. Of course not every student is satisfied on any specific topic with any of their peers. But usually something we all manage to agree that we strongly dislike is lunch. The gross textures and bland “needed” calories we have to indulge in aren’t very appetizing. If we were to have food courts instead of regular lunches I feel that the school would profit more, but we would also all gain an insane amount of weight. It’s always a win lose situation in such a system like school.

Larger schools try to minimize judgmental bullying by requiring all students to wear uniforms. I don’t believe it helps or hurts in any way. They seem quite pointless, other than the fact that it makes the student body and staff as a whole look professional. But being able to express yourself in your own appearance is more freeing than forcing an entire school to wear uniforms.

All students complain every year about going back to school. No matter what day in August or September   it may fall on, it’s always a drag to attend. I’ve heard many opinions on year round schooling with weekly break periods. I wouldn’t be appalled by the idea. It would help the student community to get through with each year quicker. That would be worth it to me.

Student safety is one of the most important things that should be executed at any and every school. Cameras should be at every inch of the appropriate places in a school. Hall monitoring isn’t doing its justice like it used to. Cameras are more detailed and get straight to the conflict. Not only just for student to student interactions, but student and teacher interactions as well.  Some teacher on teacher interactions should be monitored as well.

Playing along in the student safety topic, security should be heavily enforced after all the tragedy that we have all faced in being at school. There are at least 9 out of every 10 people that will give a reason for feeling safe at school. Armed officers and metal detectors would be a miracle in itself if it were to reach all schools. It would also save the lives of many students and staff. Feeling smart in school isn’t as easy as it is for others, but feeling safe should be a common level that everyone can embrace.

1. What does this say about the state of our legislative branch?
 They must not be highly appreciative of the legislative branch.

2. If you were the Speaker of the House, how would you rectify this situation?    Honestly, I wouldn't know how to rectify the specific situation.

 The name change makes no sense. Every merch. and all fans will have to change their appearence for the team. Although, it wouldn't matter about the team of it won't affect games. I can understand why they would want to, but it hasn't made a problem thus far.

1. What does this say about our national security?
  Mainly our national security is safe, but no one would expect anything bad to happen from a 9 year old child.


2. Are you surprised that something like this could happen in 2013?
 Yes, i'm surprised about it because how our nation has cracked down on security ever since 9/11.
