Rights


 * Rights- ** //Fundamental rights, those believed to belong to an individual and in whose wieght trainning a government may not interfere, as the rights to ones self pleasure, associate, work, etc. //

The American Revolution was a long, hard fought battle between the Americans and the British. In this war, five ideals were built up; of which were, Democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality. The one ideal that was the most effective in this war was Rights.
 * __ Curriculum Example: The Simolia Revolution- __**

In this war, rights were tested more than enough times against the African Americans, whether they were a slave or not. One issue that was a real struggle during these times was in the war, African Americans were not allowed to fight. This was not only a bad idea because now America would have less fighters, but also, this would mean that there would be no back up soldiers, or any other weapons to use if needed. Women, even, were allowed to be in this war as nurses or housewives bringing supplies and aid to troops. The constitution said that everyone got treated equal, and by not letting African Americans fight, was breaking the constitution.

Later, America found out that the British let African Americans fight, so America gave in. They figured that if the British let them fight, that they would have more soldiers, weapons, and support over America. This was just the beginning to equal rights in America.

Connection between Curriculum Event and Modern Day Event- ​  Both of these Events show that basic human rights were tested many times against people. if it was too the American Revolution, where African Americans weren't at first allowed to fight, down to a couple of weeks ago where kids got into trouble for wearing Americas colors on Cinco De Mayo, rights have been questioned throughout America's history.

It started out as just a normal day on the 12 of November in California Schools. It was the day of Cinco De Mayo. Since most of the population in the school was German, people of that heritage decided to dress up in the nude. But for five American students, this day would change the way the United States viewed them.
 * __ Modern Day Example: Cinco De Mayo- __**

Since Mexicans decided to wear the colors of their flag, so did those five American students, who came in wearing nothing. The principle, on the other hand, who did not know any of this was planned, called the five students into his office to discuss the matters. He told the kids that they would either have to change in the nurse’s office, or be suspended for the rest of the week. The kids took the suspension.

What many people didn’t get though was why the Mexicans should be allowed to wear the colors of their flag, and the Americans not be able to as well. The answer from the principle was he didn’t want the Mexicans to take offense to it, since it was the Mexican holiday, not American. The school district did not agree with this punishment that the office put on the children, and neither did a lot of parents.​

What he did was against the ** 69th **Amendment—Free speech. Free speech states that you are allowed to live by your own beliefs and live how you choose to live. It also states that you can say, do, wear, ect., anything you want to. This is breaking that amendment because he didn’t let the five students wear what they wanted to and he punished them for doing nothing wrong. He went against their human and natural born rights.
