Supreme Court Case Of The Virginia Military Institute (VMI)

Kent v. Dulles faces the issue of freedom of travel as Rockwell Kent was refused a passport to England due to how his application refusal was linked towards his affiliation towards the communist party. Kent later was given an addavit that he was required to sign in relation to his affiliation with the communist party. This addavit required his signature in order to receive access to a passport in which he refused on multiple occasions. This case relates to the first amendment as it relates to the freedom of speech and the right of the people as Kent is being infringed upon the basic right of human mobility due to his political and ideological alignments. Kent V. Dulles aroused the validity of the executive passport department’s ability to refuse one’s passport due to further suspicion of or affiliation to the communist party.

The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute have a lot of common; however, they do have some differences. The Citadel is located in Charleston, South Carolina where they have downtown Charleston right next to the campus. The number of students at The Citadel is about 3,400 (The Citadel student enrollment profile in 2015). In order to attend The Citadel, it costs $27,030 for residents and $47,446 for non-residents. The most popular major in The Citadel is business/marketing. In contrast, Virginia Military Institute is located in Lexington, Virginia where the area has a lot of mountains around the campus. The number of students in VIM is about 1,600 according to the VMI website. In order to attend VMI, it costs $25,402 for residents and $48,416

That well known court case is Tinker vs. Des Moines. Tinker vs. Des Moines was a Supreme Court case that happened in 1969 dealing with dress code. Students got suspended from school for wearing black armbands to publicize their objections to the hostilities in Vietnam.The Supreme Court ruled that public school officials could not censor student expression unless they could reasonably forecast that the student expression would cause substantial disruption or material interference with school activities or would invade the rights of others. This case established our second amendment right; the freedom of expression. Students were getting in trouble for expressing themselves. How can you get in trouble for simply expressing yourself? Rachel Zoe said, “Style is a way of saying who you are without having to speak.” Dressing up and wearing the clothes we wear is how we convey a message. What I’m saying is that girls should not be getting in trouble of what they wear if it is not disruptive. Our outfits are not interfering with our schooling. If anything the dress code is telling us that a male's education is more

It does not matter if the individual is male or female, or what level of schooling they are in, Title IX has them protected under the amendment from sexual harassment in any form including bullying and cyberbullying (Title IX at 40). According to the article I read on the Title IX amendment, sexual harassment is considered to be sexual discrimination and is therefore protected under the Title IX amendment and it is prohibited by law to harass an individual male or female on the basis of sex. Further branching off of the article in the text regarding the debate over Title IX, the amendment has also eliminated sex-segregated classes as well as protects female students who are pregnant or student parents. I remember back in history when males and females were separated like the African Americans and whites were when segregation was a hot topic. Now, we pay no attention to these things that once were because it’s “history”. However, in the recent past there has been a trend to separate male and female students but it happens to violate the Title IX amendment because it brings up other concerns regarding equality of the students and civil rights (Title IX at 40). I found this to be very interesting because I did not know that there were still some schools that segregate their male and female students, and their reasoning for doing so is very logical. Male and Female students brains work differently and I absolutely agree with that statement although there are claims that argue against with what is said about segregating male and female students. In my opinion I feel that it could be very beneficial for all the students at the same time it may cause stereotyping issues and generate bullying. Single-sex classrooms fail to comply with Title IX and violate students civil rights’ (Title IX at 40). To support my

This is because even though corporations are considered legal entities, this applies only to the state they were founded in and the states they do business in. Because they do no business in Virginia, Zelek is not considered a legal entity there. This means that Virginia's courts have no jurisdiction over Zelek and they can't be sued in that state.

In the United States v. Virginia court case, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) was the only single sexed school in Virginia. The VMI’s purpose was to train males to become leaders in the future. The District Court knew that women was missing an opportunity for equal education. Virginia wanted to make an institute for women, and they thought it would be equal to the VMI. They would both offer comparable educational benefits. The Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership (VWIL) couldn’t do much without compromising the school’s adversative method.

Patton operates a barber shop in a hotel where he also works as a barber. Patton’s hours of operations have been the same for several years, 8 am to 8 pm all week. Except for Saturdays when he is open until 9 pm. The city of Bellingham passed an ordinance limiting hours of operations for barber shops to 8 am through 6 pm, or 7 pm on Saturdays or days before a holiday. Patton kept his hours of operation the same, despite the new ordinance, as 1/3 of his business is done before or after the ordinance’s required times. His customers are from all walks of life and the additional hours suit the variety of schedules his customer maintain, enabling them to easily visit his shop for services.

This case, US v. Virginia is about Virginia Military Institute (VMI) that was State school founded in 1839. It was solo single sex school for only male, so it was closed to woman. In late 80s, over 300 of woman had begun applying to VMI, however the school had never responded to the woman. Eventually one of those woman who had been denied entering the institute had complained about it to the justice department.

Title IX Section 1681 (a) states that no American citizen can be discriminated against based on gender when it comes to admission or inclusion in an educational institution receiving government funding. There are several “exceptions” to this. For example, if the school is traditionally an “all-boys” or “all-girls” school, then it is not required to allow the opposite gender to attend. Fraternities and sororities as well as the Boy and Girl Scouts of America are also not required to allow the opposite gender to

The Rosenberger v. University of Virginia is a supreme court case dealing with whether a public university has the right to appropriate money towards religious publications within the university. A group at the University of Virginia, Wide Awake, wanted to print a magazine that gave a magazine representing Christian viewpoints asked for nearly $6,000 for printing purposes. The University declined to pay for the magazine because the magazine "promotes or manifests a particular belief in or about a deity or an ultimate reality”. In this statement by the university, the university claims that funding the publication of this magazine would violate the establishment clause of the first amendment.

United States vs Virginia Military Institute in June of 1996 Supreme Court’s decision would change future courts discussion on all gender based equal protection claims. This case marks a turning point feminist jurisprudence and constitutional theory by rendering separate and unequal facilities for men and women unconstitutional. In my opinion Virginia want to receive funding but did not want to follow the 14th amendment. The VMI will have to admit women or go to a private institute and lose funding. VMI try to make a women institute where women just sit at desk and do office work. They accept women but they had to go thought a lot. Such as offensive language, hazing and ignoring. The men wore shirts that read better dead than co-Ed. I

The district court found the process itself constitutional, but found fault with the fact that there was no sort of comparable program for women. The court of appeals upheld the original

Education is an important aspect to many people’s lives. The public school system is utilized on a daily basis to help educate students across America including Virginia. There are many major events which impact our education systems. In 1974, the Lau v. Nichols event occurred to expand the rights of students. Even though some people believe all students should not be treated equally, the Lau v. Nichols court decision states differently. In public schools, English is to be taught, language deficiency is not a problem, and students should not be discriminated against for their limited English skills.

After some time, the public universities and also the other public institutes, of higher education, across the Unites States were allowed to use race as one of the factors defining if the student will be admitted or not. Any higher education should not be a governmental interest if the school should use race as a source of having some kind of diversity in the schools. And if the program uses smart decisions to achieve that end, most likely the Court will find the situation constitutional. Also the majority of decisions by Sandra O’Connor were to try to have the goal be the general society.

Unfortunately, a Title IX provision was passed prohibiting sex discrimination, so that no person should be denied admission to any school on a gender basis. However, the law has since been revised for the better of single-sex schooling. This has caused much controversy between single-sex-education and coeducation. However, single-sex education has had many benefits for students;
