Before the NLRA, the employers ruled the workplace with an iron fist. They were allowed coerce their workers to adjust to lower wages and longer hours without having a say. If workers were to strike, the employer could implore harsh methods like shooting guns at employees on strike in order to attempt to…

Many litigations involving Affirmative Action were contested in court, but two, in particular, were student Affirmative Action cases that were presented to the U.S. Supreme Court. The very first challenge to affirmative action programs in higher education is DeFunis v. Odegaard (1973), which involved Marco DeFunis, Jr. and the University of Washington Law School (UWLS) (Smallwood, 2015, p. 2). The lawsuit questions UWLS’s practice for considering minority applications separately from the rest…

A growing number of non-cardiac drugs have been found to delay cardiac repolarization, causing QT interval prolongation and predisposing patients to an increased risk of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias, known as torsade de pointes (TdP) (Letsas et al, 2007; Yap and Camm 2003; Sanguinetti and Tristani-Firouzi).

In the photograph by the Southampton Anti-Bias Task Force, five crayons are placed vertically next to each other and each of them are named “flesh.” It is evident that each crayon is a different shade even though they all have the same name on the paper wrappers.

The Titans won the regional game!”, An announcer nearly screams through the microphone at a home basketball game. If only that could truly happen in real life. I believe all children should get a chance to be on sports teams, no matter their gender. Previous laws did not allow girls to play on boys sports teams. In the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, women organized clubs athletic in nature…
