It stretched and curved across the country from Mississippi to Bakersfield California. The narrator of this chapter speaks from the voice of immigrant tenant farmers in general.

This article analyzes the different effects the California Assembly Bill 540 has had on undocumented students. The study is done through a longitudinal study that interviews students before, soon after, and four years after the passage of the law. Through these finding it shows how the AB 540 bill benefits undocumented students and has made it socially acceptable for them to identify. In my paper I will use this source to explain what the bill does for undocumented students and how they benefit from the bill. I will support my argument by using this quote: “The law grants undocumented immigrant students an exemption from out-of-state tuition, thereby making some forms of higher education more accessible.” I will also use the topic of enactment

In the case of California v Ciralolo, the government did not do too far. In 1986 Dante Ciralolo, lived in Santa Clara California and was growing marijuana in his backyard, which was illegal. After receiving many reliable tips from the community, the police investigated these allegations. When they arrived at his home, they found a six-foot outer fence and a ten-foot inner fence surrounding his place so they couldn’t see into his backyard. The other houses in the neighborhood area did not have high fences so the police were curious of what he was doing behind the walls of his yard (Doc. B, C). Did they go too far by renting a plane to view his property and not getting a search warrant? I do not think so because this act did not defile the 4th Amendment.

The California Evidence Code § 452 determines the matters which may be judicially noticed. With respect to our case, the relevant portions of the code state that the court may take judicial notice of, “…(h) facts and propositions that are not reasonably subject to dispute and are capable of immediate and accurate determination by resort to sources of reasonably indisputable accuracy.” CAL. EVID. CODE § 452 (West 2016). The State of California published its official Voter Information Guide which includes the language of Proposition 64, and the arguments in favor of and against Prop 64. The discrepancy of the voter commentary regards the “fair and balanced” statements in the Guide. The court will likely take judicial notice of the Voter Guide

California Proposition 56, the tobacco tax increase initiative will increase the tax from $.87 to $2.87 per pack of cigarettes and all tobacco products including e-cigarettes.

The State of California is likely to respond to Chosen One and Trinity Evangelical concurrently, anticipating an argument based off the Sherbert doctrine. First, the State of California could credibly show the law was implemented due to a compelling state interest in order to provide the best possible education to every student they are spending taxpayer money on. For example, the State of California has a significant interest in teaching the students under the watch and care of the California educational system the most current, scientifically accepted, and scholastically appropriate material. This includes students that receive grant money from the state but are receiving their education at a private institution. The state would be failing

According to this article, the California Department of Water Resources released a new NASA report showing land in the San Joaquin Valley sinking rapidly, nearly 2 inches per month in some locations. Sinking land, also known as subsidence, is due to excessive ground water pumping during drought conditions and has occurred in California for decades. To obtain this data NASA compared satellite images of Earth’s surface over time and used interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations to produce maps of subsidence. As a result, researchers were able to produce time histories of subsidence at specific locations.

California’s “anti-SLAPP” statute (codified in Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16) protects the Constitutional rights to freedom of speech and right of petition by subjecting any cause of action that chills these rights to be subject to a special motion to strike. In the context of a complaint against an attorney for malpractice, the California Court of Appeal recently clarified its application under existing precedent and held the anti-SLAPP statute did not apply to claims against attorneys by former clients.

The second chapter, titled “Early Boyhood,” covers Black Elk’s recounting of his childhood. He describes the early Indian fears of the coming white settlers, or “Wasichus,” and shares, “Once we were happy in our own country and we were seldom hungry… But the Wasichus came, and they have made little islands for us and other little islands for the four-leggeds, and always these islands are becoming smaller, for around them surges the gnawing flood of the Wasichu; and it is dirty with lies and greed” (9). Even early on in Black Elk Speaks, it becomes clear that the text will provide an important account of both Indian beliefs and history. The Sioux holy man reveals the symbiotic and communal relationship between the tribes and the animals, which they see as equals and sometimes as superiors. At the same time, he historically importantly alludes to the white settler’s deceit of Black Elk’s people and other Indians, who were promised many things that never materialized. Neihardt also records the account of one of Black Elk’s older friends of the Fetterman Massacre, as the friend was old enough to fight and be present at the battle. He provides an unprecedented first-hand account of the important event from the unheard American-Indian viewpoint. At the very end of the chapter, Black Elk

A number of settlement changes had occurred in California since 1796. The discovery of gold greatly accelerated these changes. Prior to the unearthing citizens from Russia, México, America and the natives themselves had already turned California into a universal frontier. It is due to this reason that immigrants from all over the world jostled up here. Many gold seekers and other investors flooded California all with the motive of benefiting from it. This in turn brought people from different races together and encouraged the spread and development of varying ethnic languages, social languages and religions to the new American state (Rawls and Bean 21). However, most of these visitors were not interested in settling down in California. The

While this second segment of the book maps onto the recorded time of the Kiowa brilliant age, Momaday opens with a story that fits better with the time of Kiowa decrease (set apart by their annihilation on account of the U.S. military, and reflected by the opening area's portrayal of adversaries at the doors). Momaday has demanded that, while the Kiowa destiny has been a troublesome one, the account of his kin ought not be comprehended as a catastrophe. This entry, similar to the keep going, additionally expands on the subject of foes invading Kiowa life. The accentuation on the force of dialect is critical here. The section likewise comes back to the significance of senior citizens. The story that the tribal voice tells is another accentuation

Once the men were ready, they all went walking towards the “whites village,” chanting our tribes incantation:''Tous des sauvages, des sauvages!" The whole tribe was chanting back and forth.
