Case Study: Abood Vs. Detroit Board Of Education

All students, kindergarten through twelfth grade are protected under many various education laws, as well as their basic rights. Title IX is a landmark case from 1972 that removes the bias of gender discrimination in any educational program or activity that receives federal financial assistance (Title IX, 1972). Title IX does not mean that each sex needs a football, basketball and dance team, it means that there needs to be three equal opportunities for each sex. Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education (2005) was a more recent case of discrimination based on sex in relation to funding of a girl’s basketball team. In addition to Title IX, Section 1983 also upholds the civil rights provided by the Constitution, (42 USC 1983). Grove City College

Title: Rose v. Council for better education. Supreme Court of Kentucky, 1989 790 S.W 2d 186.

Based on the presented facts, it is the opinion of this writer that the educator’s termination will be upheld and the defendant will win the case. Using Fowler v. Board of Education, 819 F. 2d 657 (1987), as precedent, the actions of the plaintiff caused a substantial disruption to the learning environment. While educators are afforded the right of academic freedom “to speak freely about their subjects, to experiment with new ideas, and to select appropriate teaching materials and methods” (Hillman & Trevaskis, 2014, p. 7-12), one should err on the side of caution, as “great deference is paid to the local board of education since they have the power to determine the curriculum and the materials used”

In 1971, the case of Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education was in North Carolina which is part of the South. Even after Brown v. Board of Education, there was troubles of segregating the schools, especially in the South. This case was challenge because of the busing system sending black students all to black schools and white students were being bused to schools with whites. The plaintiff wanted schools to have a diverse population for a better education for all students in Charlotte, North Carolina.

James Loudermill was dismissed from his job as a security guard for the Cleveland Board of Education for failing to disclose a prior felony conviction on his application. Loudermill, a classified civil servant under Ohio law, filed an appeal with the civil service commission stating Ohio statue provided he could only be terminated for cause; therefore, he was entitled to administrative review of his dismissal. Nine months after the appeal was filed the Commission upheld his termination. Loudermill filed suit in the District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging the Ohio statute that provided for administrative review of a discharged public employee was unconstitutional on its face because it did not provide an opportunity for the employee to respond to the charges against him prior to being discharged. The suit also alleged the Ohio statute was unconstitutional as applied because he was not given a prompt appeal hearing by the Civil Service

These statistics would never had existed if not for the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of 1954,

This Supreme Court case involved First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District involved three public school students (petitioners) in Des Moines, Iowa who were suspended from school, because they wore black armbands in protest of the government's policy in Vietnam. The petitioners sought damages and an injunction against the regulation preventing them from wearing the armbands. Their complaint was dismissed by the District Court on February 24, 1969, because the Court determined that the regulation was within the authority of the Board's power though there was no proof that the behavior had "materially and substantially" interfered with the school's ability to conduct school activities.

The Declaration of Independence stated that “all men are created equal.” But before the civil war, America didn’t seem to abide by this since there was slavery. In 1865 slavery ended, and the 13th Amendment was created. Then in 1868 the fourteenth amendment was created, which made the rights of released slaves stronger. It says that nobody will have their right to “due process of law”, and “equal protection of the law” taken away. Later in 1870, the 15th amendment was passed stating that no state can prohibit someone from voting due to race.

As a professional school counselor, it's important to be competent in the profession that you're in and also abiding the code of ethics. I went to my state of Georgia's board of education website for school counselors, and I can upon a case dated back in 2006 that had something to do with a school counselor who was found to be incompetent in her profession. In the case of Julett Carnahan vs Butts County board of education, one of the reasons the board decided to discipline Carnahan was because they found her to incompetent as a school counselor. The case also stated the superintendent presented evidence that other faculty members did not believe her at all as a school counselor. Other evidence shows that she failed to meet with one student for a couple of days after being referred by someone, and it required consultation within 24 hours which is also an ethical violation (Julett Carnahan vs Butts County Board of Education, 2006).

Brown v. Board of Education is a historically known United States Supreme Court case in which the court declared state laws that established separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This case completely contradicted and overturned a previous, also historically known case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which was passed nearly 50 years prior. Between the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education and the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964 various organizations employed a variety of tactics for integration including but not limited to non-violent vs. violent means and utilizing their own distinct levels of influence within existing institutions and government. While the non-violent tactics are often most cited as the reason for change, it is in fact the threat of vengeful violence by the increasingly uniting civil rights organizations and public reaction to the violence of whites against groups merely fighting for the right to participate in the ideal that is America that truly affected change, culminating in the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964.

One event that had an impact was the Brown VS Topeka board of education case 1954 which was the first case to challenge segregation in Kansas. Linda brown had to go to an African American only school and was not allowed to attend the local neighbourhood school despite her parents wanting her to. Linda Browns parents went to court backed up by their local NAACP lawyers who expressed in court evidence which showed that separate education created low self-esteem and was psychologically harmful. The National Association for the advancement of Coloured People (The NAACP) who were a group lead by black intellectuals aimed to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens of United States and eliminate race prejudice. They also stated that there was evidence that the educational achievement of students was restricted because of this policy. The case took 18 months and on 17th may 1954, a closing judgement was reached where Chief Justice Warren said that 'separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.' Although a clear conclusion wasn't reached, some areas began to desegregate and by 1957, 300,000 black children were attending schools that had formerly been

Brown v. Board of Education. The court case that determined that separate but equal educational facilities are inherently unequal (i.e., separate but equal is not okay). The plaintiffs, various African American children, were denied admission to schools attended by white children under laws that permitted or required segregation by race. The plaintiffs sued on the basis that they should be allowed to attend the public schools in their communities without being segregated. It is important to note that this case is a compilation of several different cases from Kansas, South Carolina, D.C., Virginia, and Delaware. Nevertheless, this court case focused on one African American student, Linda Brown. She was chosen to be the face of the plaintiff,

The court case of Oliver Brown vs the Board of Education occurred in 1954.The case was that schools were too segregated. Oliver’s daughters had to walk a long way to school, even though there was a school closer to their house only for white students. On May 17th,1954,the Supreme Court had a unanimous decision to end public segregation in
