Hazelwood Vs. Kuhlmeier: Case Study

Improved Essays
Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier
I, support the majority opinion on the case of “T.M. v. State of Florida”
What influenced my decision the most in this case was that the students couldn’t be trusted with keeping the identities of the interviewees a secret in the article, and it was proven that the identities of the children were not hidden. The topics in the article were mainly about teen pregnancy and the criticism of the parents, which can be controversial and very distracting in an environment such as school. The principal of the school, began to notice the identities were not concealed well. Having to meet a deadline, there was no possible way the students would be able to revise the paper and rewrite the articles for the names to be unidentifiable,

    The court’s decision for Jane Roe in the the Roe v. Wade case also made a huge impact on the United States. The Roe v. Wade case is still being argued about today, forty three years after the fact. This is because the Roe v. Wade case is about more than simply abortion rights. In the book Landmark Supreme court cases, it states, “The aftermath of Roe thus has been characterized not only by unfolding terms and conditions of the right of privacy, but by an intensified debate over the court’s function” (Lively 327). The decision was made because of the right of privacy, but it is hard to tell what matters fall under the category of private.…

After supplying electricity to Victoria for over 50 years, the plant’s owners Engie argued that it was no longer economically viable to continue to run one of Australia’s most ‘dirty’ power plants, thus laying off almost 1,000 jobs. Engie states that the growing pressure for renewable energy was the main factor for the closure of the plant. Hazelwood had a long history in Latrobe Valley, opening in 1964, and has become a source of work for generations of the same family, i.e their grandfather, their father and the current worker. According to Engie, Hazelwood lasted ‘past it’s…

Dana has four other children who don’t have a disability, and all of them go to school. This mother was the first option in my head to be the perfect example for the interview. I am related to her, and knowing she is an easy-going person, I knew she wouldn’t mind if I asked a few questions on the daughters who have autism.…
