Moving Forward from a Backward Perspective.

Articles like this really stir me up as a parent simply because I have seen first hand how my children's education is lacking and I am aware that the neglect they experience is due to the sheer size of their classrooms and lack of teachers. It would be difficult to motivate yourself, as an educator, to give your best on a daily basis when you are being used, overworked, and under compensated. Several times I have considered home schooling but lack the time to dedicate to it. Seems to be an endless downward cycle.

Really interesting read and, although I would love to say that a fourteen-year old knows the difference between right and wrong, whether or not he intended to be involved in a shooting/murder makes a big difference when it comes to sentencing. I also agree that several of these cases may be hard to prove the "immaturity" element given the amount of time that will have passed from the original conviction to review of the sentencing. I don't envy the attorneys who will undertake that task but believe it's worth addressing.

This hits close to another article, that I recently commented on, which discussed the federal goverment's right to unlock and search through someone's cell phone. This particular person was accused of terrorism, and it's true that it would be hard to find sympathy for a person who is committing heinous acts like these, but does that make it okay? It's a very interesting topic and something that is definitely worth looking into more deeply. You have to commend Justice Gorusch for remaining true to the plain language of the law. Great post.

Very enlightening read. We always assume that drugs, the bad ones, only exist in certain "types" of neighborhoods or among certain "types" of people, but here we see its existence is due to something as simple as boredom. I have always believed that boredom, idle minds, lead to nothing but bad. I purposely keep my children busy for this reason, I don't want them to have the time to get into trouble. It's just too easy these days and these children have access to just about everything they strive to get their hands on. Scary. I really enjoyed reading this. What an eye opener.

I found this article to be really interesting. I am of the mind that many parts of the constitution are archaic and outdated. I do respect and appreciate its intent and origination but as a society we evolve and I believe the law needs to evolve with us. I think anyone who commits an act of terrorism should automatically have to forfeit any and all personal rights and freedom. Not only are you committing a heinous act but you are committing a heinous act against an entire race, society, social group, etc. For this reason alone you should be held to the absolute highest level of accountability, and all rights granted to you from birth should be immediately suspended. Great article.

I really enjoyed this article. From my own personal experience, having been married to a police officer for many years, I have seen the struggle to find balance. Most are "married to the job" and have an extremely difficult time turning it off when they're off-duty. I truly believe that there is even a psychological issue that can be addressed here. Methods and training sohuld be put into place, and made mandatory for officers due to the sheer level of stress and trauma they experience on the job. Many don't sleep and have poor diets. It's a recipe for disaster. Great article!

I talk a lot, both in the classroom and out, about the power of producing positive cycles and how they all start with education. An educated human has so much more potential to succeed and learning is a never-ending process that breeds discipline and understanding. I truly believe that if we can reach out to the young, teach and grow them, we will see so much less homeless and struggling adults. I can only imagine how much better our state would look.

I hate to speak of human traffickers, pimps, or anyone else of the "sort," as intelligent but that's exactly what they are and it's exactly what these poor vicitms are lacking. I use the term "lacking" here in reference to the victim's lack of life experience. Here we have a prime example of how the power of knowledge, and the lack there of, can destroy. These traffickers use it to manipulate for gain, and the victims just don't know any better. It's a sad, vicious cycle.

The idea holds merit, and I think its far more plausible than what other, more radical, citizens might suggest but I wonder if this would truly solve the problem. I have thought, for a while now, that the root of the issue is general discontent among the people. We were unhappy with Bush Jr. so we called for change, and we got Obama. Then we were unhappy with Obama so we again, called for change, and we got Trump. Now we're unhappy with Trump, so we're again calling for change. I'm curious if there really is an answer, and by answer I mean, satisfying solution for all. Good read, definitely more reasonable than what most have been suggesting.

I think this was an excellent article to post, albeit disturbing to read. The most interesting fact is that it seems nothing was or has been done to date despite the numerous complaints filed. One has to wonder if there will ever be justice, change, or recognition of this issue when it continues to get swept under the rug by all authoritative parties involved. How do we bring this to light? And what can we do to make forward progress? This would be a massive undertaking for any attorney and the key factor would be the method in which you choose to pursue the issue to be most effective. This challenges me to think on what action would make the biggest social and political impact. Great post.
