Current Event quiz 3.1

   1) The abortion law put in place by a Republican Legislature, ad the public will know if it is going to be repealed or not on Monday. Doctors say that it should be changed from only giving abortions in surgical centers, and should be changed to nearby hospitals. The Male Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton disagrees with the appeal to move the abortions, because the old law was to "hep improve the care of the women" seeking an abortion.

   2) The charges may be dropped because a federal judge expanded a century-old legal principle to provide broad protections to more law enforcement officers. The judge ruled Oct. 29 that legal precedent from 125 years ago in a ruling originally written to protect circuit-riding federal agents giving murderers who work for the city, a chance to skip out on jail. The Supremacy Clause has been interpreted to exempt federal officers from prosecution under state laws so long as they are acting within the scope of their federal duties.This interpretation of the Clause is as far reaching as affecting the deaths in September 2014, only four months after Kleinert was charged in Jackson’s death, three local police officers assigned to the same federal violent crime task force shot and killed another man. 

   3) Washington Uni had their players take lessons in learning basic Mandarin, which to be honest, won't help them as much as Washington thinks it will. Mandarin is NOT a language anyone one speaks in China, because the language is a blended version of many different Mandarin and Cantonese BASED languages. This is historic because it is a perfect place to get people excited for the NBA and this will be the first regular-season intercollegiate game featuring U.S. based teams ever played in China. Smart is really concerned with the amount of school the teammates will be missing because of the academic record of the entire team. I think that is a really great ting a coach should be worried about with such a team.

   4) What made history in Yangon, Myanmar, was millions of citizens in the election that will test whether the military’s everlasting grip on power can be loosened, with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party expected to secure an easy victory. It was a remarkable historic day, full of life and excitement. 

   5) The theft inside of the Vatican that had resulted in the loss financial papers, and the new books talking about the "mismanagement and greed inside the Vatican", but the Pope is still in favor of the people, and will prevail! Hurray for Popedizzle Frandizzle!

   6) In depth Answer:
   Sanctuary Cities are a false term used to describe a city in which immigrants can claim citizenship sanctuary. Most of the opinions are in-favor of abolishing the false term of "sanctuary cities", because it gives minorities a false sense of actual sanctuary when really they will be scrutinized and kicked out quickly. The Author presents true statements connecting the now in power Governor to scrutinizing the Latino community while also claiming to be able to relate. The cartoon shows the opinion of a 'sanctuary city" not actually giving what sanctuary is. I think the comic is an accurate representation to show how both ideas, either apposing or conforming, can see that "sanctuary" is the wrong word being used.

   6.0)  I think the variation of the editorial page is actually a really good idea for this story. His story in particular, because of the facts about the Governor. We still voted for this guy and now are dealing with the repercussions. I think it just gives information that the new voters didn't know and now they can think again about reelecting him.

  1. (1) Not just hospitals.
    (2) The implications of applying the Supremacy Clause in this matter go way beyond this police office or even Texas. (-1)
    (3) The parties involved want to get people overseas interested in college basketball not the NBA. Smart is worried about more than just academics, which is smart. (-1)
    (4) Who is the other major party in the election? The current ruling party that has held military and political power for almost 50 years. (-2)
    (5) What discoveries did the documents make known in the books that used them? The pope saw the theft as a betrayal of trust and felt it would confuse the public rather than inform them (at least that's what they said. (-2)
    (6) This response doesn't answer the whole question. It doesn't acknowledge the lack of a staff board ed. It doesn't discuss the editorial cartoons at all, and it does deal well with each column separately. (-5)
