    Summary: First off I would like to thank everyone who sends their worries for Elizabeth Key’s sons. After playing the role of Key, I understand why she left a mark in history. It is not only the fact that Key was the first black slave to gain her freedom or the fact that she’s a woman and married to an Englishman, but her strong spirit and unwillingness to give into the faith the whites have planted for her. If Key and her husband had given up when the higher court appealed her petition for freedom, she would not have a lasting impression for the other slaves. The case of Elizabeth Key was not only a big deal to the slaves but to the laws in Virginia as well.

    On the other hand, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act attempts to remedy the “structural imbalance of the court system” by regulating private employers (Han, Week 3 Lecture, 1/23/17). Title VII uses statutory laws to regulate private employers from discriminating against characteristics like race and sex in the workplace by threatening the profits of these private entities (Han, Week 3 Lecture, 1/23/17). Unfortunately, these Title VII claims face their own barriers in court, making it difficult to use subtle discrimination to prove inequality. The limitations of these approaches are evidenced in cases like Washington v. Davis Sup. Ct. (1976), Griggs v Duke Power Co Sup.

  • Abercrombie Discrimination Case Essay

    The Supreme Court made this decision because they said you can 't just refuse to give someone a job because they did not ask for accommodations because you think they are a certain religion. The Dissenting Reasoning they gave was that since Abercrombie had a certain policy on looks it was not such a intentional discrimination. Justice Clarence says that since they have a certain policy towards everyone then this isn 't really discriminating her or her religion so it does not fall into the VII Title of the Civil Right Act of 1964.What makes this court so important is that they are making judgements because of somebody 's religion. This is important since America is based of different cultures and religions so this should not even be thing. It is also important since it is an article, which should be respected and followed by

  • School Dress Code Individuality In Schools

    School Dress codes do not allow students to completely express their individuality. Schools want students to be able to think for themselves and create a sense of who they are, but it is not easy when they are forced to abide by rules that take away from from that. It should be a place of expressing ourselves freely in a learning environment without having to worry about what we wear as an interfering issue. The fact that the school system cares more about the student dress code than their education is an issue in itself. Schools should promote dress code individuality because of religious aspects, mental health, and human experience.

  • Persuasive Dress Code

    1220 Words  | 5 Pages

    Any girl who has attended a public high school understands the daily dilemma of dress code. On those scorching hot days as the school year approaches summer, many girls can be found scavenging through their closet for a “school appropriate” outfit or one they won’t melt into a sweaty puddle in. Her dresses will show too much leg, her tops will inappropriately expose her shoulder or collar bone, and her shorts will be too short — at least that 's what the school says. Dress code in modern day high schools should be boycotted because they are a violation to student and parents rights, sexist, out of date, a double standard, and they disrupt a female students education. It 's fair to agree with a policy that claims stringent dress codes increase the emphasis on academics and reduce the pressure of socioeconomic status; however, these dress codes violate the students First Amendment right to freedom of expression and the parents’ Fourteenth Amendment right to raise their children in their own way.
