Earlier this year Governor Nathan Deal was faced with the decision to sign or veto Georgia House Bill 757 (HB 757). Georgia House Bill 757, submitted by Representatives Tanner, Nix, Battles, Powell, Hatchett, and others was passed by the House and Senate in the 2015-2016 session. This bill is also known as the “Pastor Protection Bill”. It was introduced to the house following the Supreme Court decision to allow same sex marriages. The bill would provide protection to religious institutes and faith based organizations the right to deny preforming marriage services. It would also give them protection from discrimination if they refused to provide services to anyone they believed infringed on their religious beliefs. This bill would also, allow faith based organization the right to discriminate against hiring individuals based on religious belief. Those against the bill were concerned it would allow citizens of Georgia to be discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. Those in favor of the bill felt it supported their Christian principles. Governor Deal made the right decision by vetoing the bill in March 2016.

“In an 1829 letter to the Congress of the United States, Gov. George Gilmer Charged the Cherokee Nation with violation of Georgia’s sovereignty.

How important is working in partnership between parents and practitioners in early years settings and primary schools and how can we make this as effective as possible?

Stephanie Gonzalez is a 16 year old teenager who grew up and was raised in Chicago by only her mother and older brother. Stephanie has had to persevere through several challenges and obstacles in her life due to the fact that her father left her when she was only an infant. Stephanie was willing to speak out about how her culture needs to relook at the way they view single-parent households in society and how she was deeply affected by the way she grew up (Gonzalez). The percentage of children living with single parents increased substantially in the United States during the second half of the 20th century. Only nine percent of children lived with single parents in the 1960s, while this statistic increased dramatically to 28 percent in 2012. Growing

The trend of single parent families show that there is an increasing amount of lone parent families it has tripled during the last 30 years. However it is important to see that most single parents do not choose to live this way and it is more likely for them to develop new relationships and

Replacing loved ones, flowers and peacefulness, lawyers, paperwork and stress consumed 35-year old Lorraine Griepp as she lay in a hospital bed fighting stage four cancer. With a short month of notice, the realization that past laws that prevented same- sex couples to both become legal guardians while adopting, would cause Lorraine's child of three years to end up parentless. Despite all of Lorraine’s wife’s engagement with the child since the adoption, Lorraine had to spend the hardest time of her life fighting against the government to keep her own child in the grasps of her family (Walton).

On this day, whether the children had one or two parents to show them the obstacle in their life but they can grown up with emotionally stable and successful. The main problem comes when there is an issue between children raised by single parents and both a mother and a

I live in a single-parent home, raised by the most fantastic mother out there. She really works hard on making sure my sister and I have an amazing childhood. She is a very determined woman, with a master’s degree. She is a first grade teacher, but knowing teaching isn’t the greatest paying job, she works other small jobs. My parents divorced when I was about three years old. When they split, my father took all our money, and my mom had to start all over again. Going to court cost a lot of money as well. Mom has worked really hard to give us a roof over our head and clothes on our back, but she still struggles. She does not necessarily tell us her financial statement because she does not want us to worry, but if we do ask for something we sometimes

Georgia has always been a state where family values and community issues are important in our society. Many people who live in the southern United States have always been for conservative and or republican values. This typically involves a christan background, and therefore, the people of Georgia should not support gay marriage because most people are Christians. Also there is a code of natural law that must be taken into consideration with regards to legalizing gay marriage in our state. The final issue that must be looked at by the state is how the gay community imposes their rights to our society based off of influential media. Georgians should not

The state legislature, called the General Assembly, has a 56-member Senate and a 180-member House of Representatives. All members are elected for two-year terms and meet at the state house in Atlanta. Georgia's 159 counties are mostly governed by boards of elected commissioners. Most places have a mayor, a type of council, and a city manager.

Single parent households are a sensitive topic that is highly debated today. This topic is one that has repercussions for both the parents and the children involved. However, regardless of the different consequences, these households continue to grow in the coming years. “In 1970, traditional two-parent married households dominated, making up 81 % of all households in the United States (US). By 2012 this number dropped to around 66 % … In 2012, approximately 21 million children, or 28 % of all children in the US, lived with one parent” (Kramer, 2015). It is interesting to look at the way the single parent households continue to grow throughout the years, all while being a hot topic for discussion on its consequences. When thinking about a book to read for this course, there was no real choice. I stumbled upon this book and knew right away that I could benefit from this book, as well as connect to it on a deeper level and relate to it personally.
