Hostility Not Expression: Case Study

As seen in previous cases like Tinker vs. Des Moines, students have the right to political say, unless it causes disruption at school of students are promoting something that goes against the law. In the case of Tinker v Des Moines the students were not promoting anything illegal but showed their thought on the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands (Tinker). Argued in court by Kenneth W. Starr in the Morse v. Frederick case, he gave the idea that the foundation for school censorship was the case of Tinker v. Des Moines (Morse). The Justices responded back saying, that case was a different scenario as the students weren 't doing anything against the law while Frederick was encouraging the use of marijuana which was illegal (Morse).

Although, during the time Khayat spend as a student at the school the state was still segregation, he did not include any details of this in his book. He had constantly pursued a positive image for the school and it is obvious he is still striving towards this goal, even after serving as chancellor. Eliminating such a sensitive subject from his book helps the story to be more appealing to readers and show all the positive sides of the story. If Robert Khayat were to include that detail in his novel, readers might have avoided the book altogether due to the sensitive subject. That segment of history that occurred when he was a student is one of the most sad times in the history of the school and Khayat probably did not want to focus on that aspect in fear of tearing down the positive image he had built over

In “The Color of Success” written by Eric Watts talks about how he was not taken serious as an African American man because he acted too white. Watts was considered too white because he wanted to study, talk with proper English, and go to school. He was bullied for wanting to do these things, but refused to look at himself as a victim.

When arguing for racial equality, James Farmer Jr. quotes St.Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.” He claims that just laws are meant to protect all citizens; whereas, unjust laws that discriminate Negroes are not laws to be followed, thus raising awareness of racial discrimination by using emotional and logical appeals. In The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe appeals to the audience’s emotions during a debate about Negro integration into state universities. To challenge his opponent’s claim that the South isn 't ready to integrate Negroes into universities, he affirms that if change wasn’t forcefully brought upon the South, Negroes would “still be in chains,” which is an allusion to slavery. With this point, he is able to raise awareness of

Justice Thomas did not concur or descent in this case but instead chose to abstain from ruling on the case due to the fact that his son was a cadet at VMI at the time of the case (Chicago-Kent College of Law, 2015b). Doing this, Justice Thomas made sure his personal opinions and thoughts would not influence his decision and therefore he upheld the integrity of the Supreme

Students should think about how it would affect their classmates before they open their mouths and how it will feel if it were reversed and it was done to

Well I am here to tell you that although this position is popular, it is still not logical. One reason the Confederate flag should not be able fly here in the United States is because that many take the flag as racist and that it promotes slavery. The flag mainly offends Northerners and African Americans. This is because they were against the idea of slavery during the Civil War. Studies show that when people see the Confederate flag, even a glimpse of it, they are

Ball Of Confusion (That 's What The World Is Today)" which include topics of social, political and economic issues that arose after desegregation. At the beginning of the song The Temptations claim “Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher, And it seems nobody 's interested in learning but the teacher” to discuss how after segregation was outlawed people didn’t want to integrate with african americans, and they also chose to be ignorant about a topic as serious as this because the US was founded on the belief that it should be a “melting pot” and that goes against everything that the USA stands for. So in this phrase alone, a lot is said about the attitude that African Americans faced when facing white people. Then they go on to say “Aggravation,

Nonetheless, it should not even have to be a law to not express racism; people should have the audacity and respect to know better than to say those things. Essentially, racism has not ended in today’s society. I cannot seem to grasp the concept that someone could downgrade someone for something that does not define him or her as a person. I think this rule would be very beneficial in the university systems and help end social tension between the students who attend the

One of these tests was a literacy test designed to make sure that the blacks could not pass. In fact, this test was so difficult that not even whites could pass it. However, because of the laws, whites did not have to take and automatically received the right to

We can combat racism by cutting out stereotypes, learning to quit being prejudice, and not letting others be a victim. In order to combat racism, we must not prejudge people by the color of their skin. For example, the race quiz showed me that people aren’t always the race you think they are. You may think that a dark skinned person is African American.

Homer Plessy was a brave man willing to stand up against southern Jim Crow laws, and that is fate in the Supreme Court is unfair. The Separate Car Act dictates that separate races must sit in separate cars, which is segregatory, and passed by the state of Louisiana. This is in direct violation of the 14th, and rightfully deserved to be challenged. African Americans everywhere should be able to use their rights earned by four long years of bloodshed, and not be dampened by the courts. But the court overlooked the fact that it was an state law, and not private policy, and deemed the segregation private and thus legal.

You may have recently heard of the story of Clifton and how he was not allowed to enter your park. You may have also heard of many other people that have encountered the same problem. Do you really think you are justified for doing such a thing, because you’re not? But, some people would say that it is right for them to deny service to African-americans. Predominantly there was no reason for Clifton to be denied entry to the park.

Case: New Jersey v. T.L.O.
