The constitution promises the liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific laws that allow anyone have the right to an education. The petitioner seek the right of making their schools more diverse and choose the people to attend their schools, as well as making standards and policies as to who automatically gets into their schools for future students to make their schools more diverse. My analysis brings me to the conclusions universities may take act on becoming more diverse.
Abigail Fisher, a white female, applied for admission to the University of Texas but was denied. She did not qualify for Texas' Top Ten Percent Plan, which guarantees admission to the top ten percent of every in-state graduating high school class. For the remaining spots, the university considers many factors, including race. Fisher sued the University and argued that the use of race as a consideration in the admissions process violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In this case The school of texas did not violate her 14th amendment as to she was just an ordinary girl. There was nothing to bring her forth as an overachieving girl who deserved to be able to attend this school. She had nothing going for her to back her up, she had no extracurricular activities to prove she was involved in different things outside of school. As well as she only had average grades, and she was expecting to get into this school for reason of being white so more privileged.. As to she did not also qualify in the top 10 percent as to say that she was later denied and her privileges taken away, she did not have any back up plans to where to go if this school had not accepted her. The schools have the right to consider race for par of their admissions as much as they need to, to make their school more diverse as well as to make academic policies.

Humanities Matthew Haupert September 5, 2018 The Right Cause Imagine yourself as a parent. Having that privilege of being with your children, loving them and being loved. Your life is perfect with your family, but all that bliss is shattered. Your daughter, kidnapped and raped, going through an experience a no child should ever have. All you're left with is all this outrage within you, knowing that bastard that hurt and ruined your daughter walked out of court a free man. In the book The Fifth Angel by Tim Green, all of these events happened to a man named Jack. His life was ruined in an instant, and the authorities would do nothing about it. Left with grief and anger he decides to take matters into his own two hands. Ending the lives of sexual offenders all over the country is the best thing he could have done. As it’s justified when he has seeked revenge for all of those children who were victims to those in despicable creatures, he’s saved kids from ever falling into the hands of those men again giving parents a sense of security, as well as giving these people a punishment long deserved. What jack had done, maybe in the eyes of the law he did a crime that is unforgivable, the act of . . .Murder. But he didn't do it just for the sake of murdering some random person, he did it as warning. A warning to all of those child molesters. That even though the law may have given them a light sentence or even turned a blind eye, that he will be the Guardian Angel waiting in the darkness to take judgment for all the sins they have committed. In the text The Fifth Angel: by Tim Green an old man stated “if id been one of my daughters or one of my grand kids he did that to, I’d a taken my deer rifle out and killed him myself . . . i mean it son ”(pg 170). This quote shows that not only the parents of the children but also neighbors were on edge because of these people, and would do the same thing if they had enough courage to carry out. He was doing justice to children themselves, knowing that even though the nightmare still come and when they wake up in sweat they know that the danger is gone. . . completely gone. |
