that the school did not have the right to suspend the students for the black arm band since they

4- The committee and Ms Beckel decided to include a religious studies curriculum in the program. The principal approved of it. However, Ms Wright one of the community members did not. She threatened to show up at the committee meeting with the media. On the day of the meeting, Ms Wright showed up with a placard protesting the use of the bible in public schools.

On Page 83 Dr. Palleni tells Mrs. Malloy, ”Students cannot break-- cannot make a disturbance in the classroom. Straightforward rule infraction.” AVI In this quote it is shown what rule Philip Malloy had broken. He was creating a disturbance, which is why he was kicked out of the school. OnPage 1 in the memo it says “Please all rise and stand at respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” AVI The rule that Philip broke is right on the first page in the memo. Stand at respectful, Silent attention. The rule Philip broke is right in the memo that he was sent most likely when he entered the school. He broke the rule, suspension is deserved. On Page 105 Dr. Seymour says “The answer is no. We do not have such a rule. Absolutely.” AVI This is said by Dr. Seymour while he is speaking to Jennifer Stewart. He is saying that there is no rule against singing the star spangled banner. On Page 111 the conversation states “Ms. Stewart: …. You suspended a student, Philip Malloy, for singing “The Star Spangled Banner”? Dr. Palleni: I did no such thing!” AVI In this quote, Dr. Joseph Palleni is defending himself after he is accused of suspending Philip for signing the national anthem. This shows that Palleni did not suspended Philip Malloy for singing the national anthem. He suspended him for some other reason, for creating a

The anonymous writer uses ethos in this article to have well known figures opinions on the issue addressed.President Obama expressed concern that “not standing for the National anthem can get in the way of the message.” The author chose a well known figure such as Obama,because his opinion is one that people will take into consideration on the fact that even our past president doesn't fully agree on the issue.”As a general matter,when it comes to the flag the National Anthem and the meaning that holds for our men and women in uniform and those who've fought for us-that is a tough thing for them to get past to then hear what his

This caused the situation to get out of hand and created the main conflict in the book. Mr.Lunser asked Phillip when the Star Spangled Banner was being played, “You want to sing?” and he responded, “No” (page 150). This proves that he was lying because he said to Miss Narwin, “I was being patriotic.” (page 60). If you only hum the star spangled banner during a class with a teacher you can't stand and nowhere else than you are not patriotic. This shows that he became a dynamic character after he got what he wanted. Philip stated, “I don't know the words.” (page 177). This proved that he was lying because he told his parents that Miss narwin would not let him sing the national anthem. Then, they called reporters and made the news get out which caused a lot of character vs character conflict. He also lied to reporters that he likes to sing along, but we know this is not true because he doesn't know the words so he can't sing along. This makes him a static character because he did not change his ways of

First a little background on the national anthem. The song itself was written to commemorate a military victory when we withstood a British attack and “Old Glory” continued to wave over the battered fort during the War of 1812. In 1931 Congress officially decided listeners should stand when “The Star Spangled Banner” is played. Congress also gave suggestions for the behavior of people listening to the song. Which is basically to stand at attention, hand over your heart, and men should remove their hats and hold them over their heart. (Dempsey, Martin). So even Congress believes that is what a person should do, but so they would not be in violation of 1st Amendment rights, they only recommended it, they

Over five years have passed since high school senior Joseph Frederick was suspended for 10 days by school principal Deborah Morse after refusing her request to take down a 14-foot banner he was displaying at a school-sanctioned event which read “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS.” Born as a seemingly trivial civil lawsuit in which Frederick sued the school for violating his First Amendment rights to free speech, the case made its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the long-awaited ruling of Morse v. Frederick has finally been released. In a 5-4 split decision, the court ruled in favor of Morse and upheld the school board’s original ruling that Morse was acting within her rights and did not violate Frederick’s First Amendment rights by taking away his

People think Phillip has a right to be patriotic and express himself by singing The Star-Spangled Banner. On page 217 in the article from “American Affiliated Press Wire Service” says “The boy, Philip Malloy, who wished to sing in the spirit of patriotism”. Philip thought that he was simply being patriotic. Philip was expressing himself, but making distractions during the announcements are strictly prohibited at the school, and Philip knew

Since of Philip Malloy's suspension, he was suspended for disturbance not for showing his patriotism. Miss Narwin stated, "During the playing of the National Anthem he sang. Loudly. With no respect." Accordingly, Philip was singing with no respect and loudly just to impress his "crush" Allison.

How could a kid make a disturbance in class while the Star-Spangled Banner was playing? Philip Malloy is a ninth grader who just moved to a school called Harrison HIgh. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Malloy. While at this school Philip Malloy was suspended for being patriotic by singing the national anthem while the tape was playing on the intercom. While at this school Philip Malloy was suspended for being patriotic by singing the national anthem while the tape was playing. This is unacceptable! Philip Malloy was suspended for singing the national anthem. Philip said,“I like to, you know, sing along.” In the morning when they play the national anthem Philip would like to sing along to the national anthem. Dr. Seymour said, “Of course not. Whatever

As Michael James explains“They beat the shit out of you..They’re yelling ‘Stop resisting!’ Stop resisting!’ when you’re not even moving.”...I couldn't stand it no more...I’ve knocked myself out by running full force into the wall” (Tapley 216). He expresses hhow he wasnet doing anything and yet the guard would slam his head to wall,punh, poke and all while he was handcuffed. He mentions how he understand punihment is suppose to be placed when an inmate is out of line but, he makes it clear that he doesnt have to do anything to get beaten by the guards. Michael story is the same as many other inmates. James had harsh childhood and now his prison days increase the chances for him to get mentally ill when he entered solitary confinement for

Young Philip Malloy was suspended for 2 days from his high school for being patriotic. If you think I'm lying, I wish I was. You see Philip Malloy goes to Harrison High School and his parents are Ben and Susan Malloy. Ninth grader Philip Malloy was suspended for being patriotic by singing the National Anthem. There is no rule against it.

I was part of the rebuttal for the Negative Team. My part of the argument was to rebut the Affirmative Team’s point that the First Amendment rendered the school rule unconstitutional. However, I argued that the school rule was not unconstitutional, as it had not broken any part of the First Amendment by only asking the students to be quiet while the anthem played. Additionally, I turned the argument on them during the rebuttal, by proving why Philip was being a disturbance, and the First Amendment’s freedom of speech could not protect him, as freedom of speech is defined as the legal right to express one’s opinion freely. The three main points introduced by the other team included that Narwin was unjust and biased, Philip has the right to freedom

As Superintendent Lopson, I first need to analyze the current policy. The policy is that suspensions are not concrete and it is the discretion of the principals. In order to come up with a solution, the superintendent needs to have another meeting with his board, once this issue has calm down. Right now, principal’s supporters are influencing the decisions of district. What needs to happen, is the district needs to vote on whether or not they will change the suspension policy. They should not do it at this meeting, since they have a lot distraction and outside influence. I would start by saying that changing the policy will be decided based on feedback. What I would do is send surveys to parents, principals, and teachers from the schools and have them express their concerns in terms the current policy. The surveys would be collected, data would be interpreted, and the board would make a decision. In the end, Mr. Lopson needs to
