Mary Ellen Kimble v. The Worth County R-III Board of Education In this scenario, I feel that the school’s success was highly dependent on their ability to provide “competent and substantial evidence” of Ms. Kimble’s “immoral conduct”(Mary Ellen Kimble v. The Worth County R-III Board of Education, p. 2).On three separate instances, Kimbell was found guilty of “untruthfulness and taking property not her own without consent or permission”(Mary Ellen Kimble v. The Worth County R-III Board of Education, p.7). The precedent set by Meredith v. Board of Education required a degree of credibility among witnesses, which the board was also able to provide. Although Kimbell ultimately returned the stolen items when confronted, this did not compensate for her actions. Due to the nature of her position it was deemed that she was unfit to perform her duties, because her behavior breached “even the …show more content…
The school board claimed that Ms. Cookson was originally dismissed due to her team’s participation in hazing activities, which was in clear violation of the school’s policies. When presented at the summary judgement it was found that the school had “articulated a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for declining to rehire Cookson” and provided sufficient evidence through parent complaints/ formal letters of disciplinary action (Kelly Jo Cookson v. Brewer School Department et al., p.4).In contrast, when reviewed by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court it was determined that sexual discrimination could have been a factor. The time of when the superintendent made his decision on Cookson’s dismissal and when he obtained the knowledge of her sexual orientation was a point of contention, therefore, it was deemed inappropriate for the case to be handled in a trial setting. Ultimately, Cookson withdrew her claim of sexual discrimination, however, it is unclear as to her

I am in favor of the Petitioner in the name of Rebecca Friedrichs who supports the idea of overturning the precedent Abood v. Detroit Board Education where the Supreme Court ruled that public agency shop arrangements are constitutional. Public-sector agency shop arrangements aren’t completely incorrect in regards to the subject of having the right to represent since they do have the “legal duty to represent all workers” (“Supreme Court takes case on ‘fair share’ union fees,” 2015). It explains how they do have the constitutionality behind representation and also behind their practices (Abood v. Detroit Board Education) yet regarding their actions, it doesn’t mean that the ruling in Abood v. Detroit Board Education should’nt be overturned especially considering unions require nonmembers to pay “their fair share of fees” for bargaining costs despite the
It caused negative reactions throughout because of her statement.

The question presented is whether, a high school regulation, requiring that student athletes “stand in a respectful manner throughout the National Anthem during any sporting event in which their team is participating” violates the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The court should rule for the defendant Jane Skinner, utilizing the case of Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988) and Tinker v. Des Moines School District (1969). Which both implies that her actions were resulted from materially and substantially interfere with other student, and therefore justifies Jane Skinners actions. Facts: On October 4, 2017 Jane Skinner who is the principal of Alabama’s Hoover High School, informed both students and parents of a new sporting

The Mendez et al V. Westminster Board of Education came into effect when Gonzalo Mendez’s children were denied the acceptance of registering at Westminster Main School in Westminster, California; the school district where his children belonged. His sister Soledad Vidaurri went to register her children and Mendez’s 3 children at Westminster Main School. Mendez’s children were denied the right to attend an “all white” school because of their race and dark colored skin. They were told to attend Hoover school where only Mexicans attended. Soledad’s children were accepted into the school because their skin color was light and their last name came from French descendents.
Decades ago, children of various races could not go to school together in many locations of the United States. School districts could segregate students, legally, into different schools according to the color of their skin. The law said these separate schools had to be equal. Many schools for children that possessed color were of lesser quality than the schools for white students. To have separate schools for the black and white children became a basic rule in southern society.
After reading the case between Tarasoff v. The Regents of the University of California I truly understand how the case turned into law. Although, in the second hearing of Tarasoff II, the ruling was changed do to the liability of the therapist. The responsibility of the therapist to determine the mental status of his patient/client, was based on some key factors that were factored into the Tarasoff doctrine to aid in legal and ethical responsibilities of mental health professionals included: fiduciary relationship, prediction of dangerousness, forceability, identifiable victim, duty to protect, and reasonable care. (Simone and Fulero, 2005).

From the website, Encyclopedia Britannica article Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley, I found that the court case Board of Education vs. Rowley is about a deaf student named Amy Rowley who lived in New York and attended a public school. Her parents approached the administration in the school at the beginning of Rowley kindergarten year explaining that their daughter would need an aid to sign to her while the teacher was teaching. The school granted their request for a two-week period but determined that the interpreter was not necessary. A new IEP was written for her explaining that she would use hearing aids and her ability to read lips to learn in a regular classroom. In addition, she would have

My question is why do people say they 're innocent even if they know there 's evidence to prove they’re guilty. Another thing i found interesting is that students are allowed to stay the night at her house, I found that interesting because I have never heard of students staying the night at a teachers house and it being “normal” or “appropriate.” One last thing I found interesting was how she wasn 't fired but simply put on administrative leave. In my opinion if I was the district spokesman I would have simply fired her because if a teacher puts students lives in danger they should not be able to teach.
