    What do you think? Please comment, like or hate and share! WOMEN PRESIDENT OF THE USA, UNCONSTITUTIONAL? I want to preface by saying that I am not against the idea of a women being President of the US, but I am very much against Hillary Clinton, for more reasons than I can count. With that said, it seems to me that it is currently unconstitutional for a female to hold the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America.…

    Glass Ceiling “Politics” There is no secret that women have a hard time succeeding in the workplace unlike men. I have gained knowledge of rights women have gained over the last decade while in my American Women Rights course. Women have not always been able to succeed in politics because of a barrier stopping them from doing so. This is better known as a glass ceiling, “a physical barrier that hinders a woman from rising to a high-level position. Women have gone through a lot in the past few years when it comes to their political rights.…

Therefore you should be able to live the life you are comfortable with without judge by others. The impact the IX gives me as a student at GCU makes me feel comfortable because of the diversity of student and the school accepted all races and work equally with every single student. In this case, this environment makes it a comfortable place for learning.…

    After years of fighting an aggressive battle for equality, in 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed and women were assured the right to vote. Although women were granted the right to vote, the Lowell Mill women organized themselves and went on strike before they were granted voting rights. I’m sure that the contributions of every woman haven’t been documented in publications, media and textbooks but thankfully many contributions of women can be found in the history books. Women have played key roles in workers’ rights globally for over a century. They have long been connected to protests, revolutions and strikes.…

    The Obama administration is telling public schools across the country they must allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. As a result, Springfield-area schools are reviewing their policies regarding transgender students' use of bathrooms. A letter, signed by the leaders of the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education, was sent to school districts Friday. It sets guidelines on how schools can operate in compliance with Title IX, a federal statute that prohibits discrimination based on a student's gender identity. The guidance doesn't have the force of law but tells schools how the Department of Education intends to enforce Title IX in the future.…

    Many important events have occurred in government in the history of America. Each event has helped shape and makes America what it is today. The three important events to me were: the ratification of the 19th amendment, U.S. President George Washington Bush signing the Patriot Act, and President George Washington publishing his “Farewell Address”. I have chosen these three events because: the 19th Amendment allowed me to have the right to vote, the signing of the Patriot Act provided the tools necessary for America to stop terrorism, and Washington’s Farewell Address warned America of future events that would lead to trouble. As a woman, the ratification of the 19th Amendment is the most important to me.…
