post your initial response to the following questions: 1. While gross income, citizenship, and family size are all a part of eligibility criteria, the people who get rental assistance are ultimately determined by a lottery. What are your thoughts on a lottery system? Does it ensure that those who are most in need get assistance? Can you think of an alternative option to a lottery? 2. Programs like the FRA have lifted millions out of deep poverty, showing these programs do have an impact on children and their families. Why do you think Congress has made major cuts to housing assistance recently? 3. The CARES Act eviction moratorium ends on July 24th 2020. If it does not get extended, landlords have the right charge a penalty or evict families if they fail to pay their rent. Given that we do not know how long the pandemic, and subsequent high unemployment rates will last, what do you suggest Congress do to both support families with renting assistance but also not further damage the economy by defaulting rent payments?

In 1957, Congress added “under God” after “one nation” to the Pledge of Allegiance. A lawsuit was filed in California arguing that rules requiring students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with its affirmative reference to God violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment. The case of Elk Grove Unified School District v Newdow (2004) went to the Supreme Court. While the Court chose to not decide the issue by arguing that Newdow did not have standing, the establishment clause was widely discussed in oral arguments. The oral argument for this case can be found on the Oyez website for online streaming or to download the MP3 file at (Links to an external site.). Listen to the relevant selections of the argument. The school district’s attorney argues this issue at 17:16 to 26:17, and Newdow, representing himself, argues the issue from 30:17 to 44:0. What are the facts of this case? Explain the establishment clause of the First Amendment? What did the courts decide and why? Do you agree or disagree with the Court? Do you agree or disagree that the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited as “One nation under God”?

1.) In my video on the 1st Amendment, I discussed the impact of the Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio and the imminent lawless action test that resulted from it. One of the consequences of this case was that hate speech is generally seen as protected by the 1st Amendment. Do you agree that hate speech is something that should be protected by the 1st Amendment? Do you believe that hate groups, like white supremacist groups, should have their speech protected by the 1st Amendment? Explain your response.2.) What are your thoughts about the idea of “defunding” the police? In your response, please make references to the material in the “Police Brutality” module page. Also, keep in mind that defunding does not necessarily mean eliminating the police; the arguments around defunding are more complex than that.

Not everyone agrees on how much power the judicial branch should have. After all, federal judges and justices are appointed, not elected. As most Americans believe in democracy, shouldn’t elected officials run the country? On the other hand, perhaps American government would be fairer if judges had even more power. Because they do not have to worry about reelection, they are relieved of the outside pressure of public opinion. After all, the majority is not always right. What are your thoughts on the powers of the United States Supreme Court? Do you think it has too much power today? Why or why not? If you believe it has too much power, can you think of a way to limit the powers of the Supreme Court? If you believe it can do with more power, what additional powers would you propose the Supreme Court should be given? If you believe the Supreme Court has just the right amount of power, talk about what you like about it and what can best be done to maintain the current system.

Guiding question: How does racial capitalism work to obscure cross-racial solidarities? How have cross-racial solidarities formed, in spite of this? What is required for racial solidarities? What have historical forms of cross-racial solidarities looked like? What might cross-racial solidarities look like today? Taking into consideration the readings from Robinson, Liu and Shange, and the Letters for Black Lives Collective, as well as previous weeks’ readings, reflect on this question using 250 words minimum (you may go over!) and produce at least two questions or connections to other readings, personal experiences, contemporary politics, other parts of history, or pieces of pop culture.

What are some of the aspects of both that you believe would repel a person from being a member of each type of society?
