They graduated almost twice the national average of students even though they had severe academic deficits.

We have to "rethink school". There is not enough time left to keep hiding around the subject. We have to take action now. Most kids are being taught the same way they have for the past 100 years which has to change due to new innovations.

We need to fix the issue created by wealthy parents being capable of sending their kids to any school, and poor families not having the same opportunities.

Elected officials are incorporating 'welcoming plans", creating "welcoming committees" and coming up with "welcoming resolutions" to attract immigrants and create good relationships between the immigrants and those who receive them. Mon, 17 Dec 2018 13:58:32 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/122132?scroll_to=1189265 https://nowcomment.com/documents/122132?scroll_to=1189265 The problem that the article is stating here is that there will most likely not be any new immigration reforms for the year of 2014. This affects immigrants because they will receive the same treatment. Mon, 17 Dec 2018 13:56:05 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148731 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148731 Lawmakers also argue that teachers have the option to carry around guns at school so there shouldn't be stricter gun laws. However, they also realize that putting gun in a place of youth could be a recipe for disaster. It would put many more people in contact with guns on a daily basis. Fri, 02 Nov 2018 14:22:35 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148726 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148726 Many lawmakers find it pointless to create stricter gun laws that will keep people from obtaining guns because there are already many guns out on the streets. If someone wanted to commit a crime using a gun, they could easily get it from someone else who has already purchased a gun in the past. There is no realistic way of taking guns away from everyone who has already bought them. Studies show that more gun homicides are inevitable when there are more guns. Fri, 02 Nov 2018 14:19:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148714 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1148714 One main reason that lawmakers won't create stricter gun laws is because they think there are "better" ways to fix the problem. They believe that if we improve access to health care then there would be less people committing these crimes. However, they also argue that not everyone with a mental illness will be more likely to be a criminal. It just depends on their specific situation so it's important to give them the resources they need to live better and safer lives.

Mark Cuban is also a continuation of Trumpism. He challenges the established political order. Bannon wants Cuban to be president in 2020. Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:51:23 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132866 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132866 People fear that nothing on the issue of gun control will change, not even in the future, despite all the mass shootings. The divide on the controversy significantly rose after Donald Trump's win in the election. His message was to protect everyone, at home and abroad, but some feel that he should focus more on protecting suburbs and neighborhoods. However. he still argues that his ultimate goal is to defend Americans and their right to the "American Dream". Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:48:37 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132829 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132829 The increase in school shootings, especially at the Parkland, Florida High School,has caused people to lean ever more towards stricter gun laws, or fewer gun laws. Since there has been an average of one school shooting since 2013, many argue that these mass shootings are proof as to why there should be limits on an individual's ability to acquire a gun. On the other side, people think more people should own guns as a means of protection. They say "we need to arm the 'good guys'". Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:37:02 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132470 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132470 I think it's important to realize that more and more people are buying guns in America for two reasons. One is because of the increase in public shootings, and two is because people fear more gun control so they are buying more guns before changes occur. This has led an increase in gun sales which has increased total numbers of guns in America, and in each household. However, as seen in a variety of surveys, a majority of people want stricter gun laws. Tue, 16 Oct 2018 13:34:17 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132463 The first people restricted from owning guns were black people, Native Americans, and 'disloyal' people to the country. New civil rights laws, and assassinations in the 1960's however, pushed towards more equality on who could own guns. Later, a background check system was created along with other state-level laws which have been used to expand gun rights or to restrict them. Tue, 16 Oct 2018 13:30:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132190 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1132190 Ever since the controversy on Gun Control began, there have been two very opposing sides. Due to the single sentence in the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution, some think that there should be restrictions on firearms while others think there shouldn't be restrictions because it infringes individual liberties. As this is a growing controversy, I think there should be more discussion on it. Tue, 16 Oct 2018 13:23:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131529 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131529 One main reason students hold back on speaking out on this topic, is because they are afraid they won't be heard or taken seriously. Luckily, thanks to students like Emma Gonzalez, many people are influenced and motivated to take part in advocating for gun control. Through this bravery, more and more people are inspired each day to share their stories and bring attention to the issue. Mon, 15 Oct 2018 23:33:26 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131528 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131528 Through all of the marches, protests, etc, students hope to create a change in the world. They are tired of constantly being congratulated for their work, when still nothing changes. They dedicate a lot of time and hard work towards these social injustices and they expect the same effort back. We need to be less ignorant of these injustices and start putting our words into action. Mon, 15 Oct 2018 23:29:23 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131527 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116082?scroll_to=1131527 Overall, the entire school system is terrified and in constant worry of a possible school shooting. However, the students themselves are the ones most heavily concerned with this issue since they take up the majority of the school, and have close relationships with other fellow students. We should disregard the idea that they are "too young" to be taken serious. Society needs to be more understanding and respectful of their thoughts and beliefs on gun control.
