After losing a generation of men and experiencing the hardships of war, many peace related objectives were put into place to prevent another war so destructive and disastrous. The road to peace started with the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. United States President, Woodrow Wilson, presented a drafted series of peace proposals called the Fourteen Points. The last point addressed the possibility of having a group dedicated to peace and interactions among nations no matter the size (Macmillan). This organization would stop wars like World War I from happening so that it does not become part of the culture of the Western World yet again. While the idea of the league was originally rejected, the Treaty of Versailles, the most significant treaty to come out of WWI, established the League of Nations. Eventually, the League of Nations disbanded in five years after the start of World War II and the United Nations was formed. Newton Diehl Baker, Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of War argues that the lack of such a league to keep peace in 1914 is what threw the world into the chaos of World War (Macmillan). Even Baker did not know the ramifications the war would have due to the lack of peace structure until after the war

McKinney Vento Act provides federal funding to states to meet the needs of homeless students. States are given the flexibility to spend the funds appropriately. This includes the fixed amendment where schools can spend money on direct education services including various programs. LAUSD would continue to use these federal funds to hire homeless liaisons as part of their Homeless Education Program. The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) was passed in California and gives school districts more authority over how the money will be spent in their K-12 schools. (Ed-Data, 2015) LAUSD is eligible for this funding. This formula would ultimately give school districts 20% more money for each of their high needs students. High need

Honig vs. Doe is a court case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in January 20, 1988 (6-2) the California School Board had violated the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA), (Steketee). After the school board suspended a student indefinitely for violent and disruptive behavior which was caused by his disability. Doe was a 17-year-old student who was taunted by his peers due to his physical abnormalities, speech difficulties, and poor grooming habits, (FreedomKentucky). Doe’s Individual Education Program (IEP) goal set was to improve his ability to relate to peers and control his impulses and anger.

Doe qualified for special education services under the EAHCA and the suit was filed regarding “stay-put” act.

All organizations are in business to make money, but there are rules that the employer and the employee must follow as well. Any influence that management and labor have over the organization should be equal. The “Landrum-Griffin Act also knows as the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.” Was passed in 1959 through U.S. Congress. This is the result of certain improper activities that was going on between labors, management, employers and certain union officials. Many of the officials in higher positions misused numerous labor funds as well as being involve in violent activities. This act regulated union affairs internally and also controlled the use of union funds.

In 1906, the Pure Food and Drug Act, that was years in the making was finally passed under President Roosevelt. This law reflected a sea change in medicine-- an unprecedented wave of regulations. No longer could drug companies have a secret formula and hide potentially toxic substances such as heroin under their patent. The law required drug companies to specify the ingredients of medications on the label. It also regulated the purity and dosage of substances. Not by mere coincidence was the law passed only about five years after Bayer, a German based drug company began selling the morphine derivative, heroin. Thought to be a safe, non-habit forming alternative to morphine, heroin quickly became the “cure-all drug” that was used to treat

6.Kellogg-Briand Pact- 64 nations agreed to not pick war as an option of solving disputes internationally, a treaty was signed.

The Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 took place in Kansas and Nebraska. The main people involved in the event, were Stephen Douglass, John Brown, John Geary, and Charles Sumner.

The Kansas Nebraska Act was passed by Stephen Douglas in 1854. The Act allowed the states of Kansas and Nebraska to desighted for themself if the were going to allow slavery in their territories. It was made to replace the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Why Stephen made this Act was to make sure that the transcontinental railroad would go threw Illinois. To do this he wanted to introduce a bill organizing the territory of Nebraska under the control of the people. There were objections from the south that Nebraska was under the 36*30 degree line. Nebraska would a state of Popular sovereignty or in other words ruled by the people. The south was very happy with this act because they did not like that if Slaves passed

The initial purpose of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was to open up thousands of new farms and make feasible a midwestern Transcontinental Railroad. But, as popular sovereignty become a factor in the decision of the states being the pro or against slavery change the purpose of the act for the people. The act provided organization of the Kansas and Nebraska territories. The tension between pro-slavery and free-soil factions over slavery in new territories increased to the higher level because of the popular sovereignty. Nebraska Territory lay north of 36"30', so the Missouri Compromise was repealed. This act passed Congress, but it angered North and led to the collapse of the Democrats and the rise of the Republicans.

When other nations jumped into WWI in 1914, America adopted a policy of neutrality. News of the horrors of the war convinced Americans that they had taken the right approach. Many could not believe that a civilized society could resort to such atrocities. Germany’s use of U-boats in unrestricted submarine warfare finally pushed the U.S. to declare war. President Wilson urged for peace based upon the idea of a League of Nations, where many nations would act as one to preserve the peace of all. Although WWI pitted country against country, it also galvanized America, ushering in an era of massive change. Wilson dictated that “Peace had to be a peace of reconciliation, a peace without victory, for a victor’s peace would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only upon quicksand” (Trueman). Peace came in 1918, although it was not a peace without victory, and a colossal shift in the way of life followed soon after (Trueman).

Albert Einstein, physics noble prize winner of 1921, once said "I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves decide not to go to war." This was basically what the United States was facing during the late 19th and early 20th century as it was presented with the decision to go to war in many occasions. For instance, having experienced an era of tremendous and lucrative industrialization, the United States soon found the need to look beyond its borders. With all the goods that had been produced during the Second Industrial Revolution, the United States had to act in accordance to what was most beneficial for the nation's economy. Thus, this resulted in

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Gov. Jim Justice vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have eliminated recertification requirements for physician assistants.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact, a possible pioneer in world peace, was swept under the rug as soon as the next conflict came up. Despite blatant, recurring defiances of this agreement, none of the signing countries have been held remotely accountable for their actions, the United States included. No attempt at peace can be made if those who control the world can go back on their word when it doesn’t benefit

The KBP attempted to eliminate war and armed conflict by calling on nations to condemn and renounce war as a solution to international controversies and as a tool in international relations. It also called on nations to settle disputes peacefully without
