Do teachers have a right to free speech in the workplace and can comments on personal beliefs and views be grounds for dismissal? In a fictional situation, teacher Ann Griffin is dismissed from her position as a tenured teacher after a conversation she had involving the Principal and Vice Principal in which she made the comment that she “hated all black folks.” Ann Griffin was teaching at a predominantly African-American school and after this heated conversation, the Principal Fred Watts recommended Griffin’s dismissal based on doubting her ability to treat students fairly and questioning her judgment and competency as a teacher. Was the Principal justified in dismissing Ms. Griffin? Should Ms. Griffin’s speech be protected as a First Amendment right? What precedence can be found both supporting Ms. Griffin’s dismissal and also to support her continued employment?

With the prospect of expanding further west, many Americans were interested in gaining authority over lands occupied by the Native American people. Prior to the Dawes Severalty Act, each tribe had communally owned land. Dawes Severalty Act made it law that Native American owned land was in fact American land and that individual Natives owned a portion of their own land. This benefit was in exchange of two features. Firstly, Native Americans were granted citizenship from the United States of America. Secondly, the Native American people effectively have up an integral part of their culture: community. In splitting the Native lands into smaller native lands, the U.S. was able to further its goals.

All people know they must talk to their friends to keep them. Or, try and help out to keep something working. Not much is known about the origin of this proverb even though it is popular. It is important to live by “go often to the house of a friend; for weeds soon choke up the unused path” which can be shown through Kitty Kallen, Beryl Grey, 11 Birthdays, and the United Way drive.

I have challenged myself all throughout high school with Honors and AP classes, but I have gone beyond the classroom to further challenge myself. For instance, in the genetics-based research program, I was tasked with many scenarios in which I had to use my problem solving and reasoning skills to make the appropriate decisions for many laboratory experiments. Additionally, I had to interpret the results of the experiments in context with what I was attempting to prove through the experiment. Within my high school, I am also part of the National Honors Society through which I help the community’s schools with tutoring sessions. TCNJ’s Honors Program will allow me to continue pushing myself to the peak because of all of its challenging courses and opportunities. All throughout high school I have been challenging my academic capabilities and I wish to continue to do so as I continue to TCNJ.

I have always succeeded in all of my courses with high marks, earning a place in the National Honor Society. I have been in accelerated English, math, and science since eighth grade and took my first Advanced Placement course in tenth grade.

To graduate early, I took economics independently last spring and challenged the U.S History and Government course. I am currently taking thirteen credits in college courses and going on clinical rotations three times a week in the hospital through the New Vision Medical Program.

I would categorize Debra LaFave as a fixated sex offender, with a topology of high fixation/high social competence. Sex offenders who are categorized as fixated will not usually have sex with people within their own age range, appear to be emotionally undeveloped, and are overly interested in interacting with children. They will typically concentrate on young boys that are not part of their family. The offender will spend time creating a relationship with children through grooming and pre-meditation to gain their trust and acceptance. Ms. LaFave falls into the category of approach–explicit because she took the time to groom Billy, planned out the opportunity for them to be together, while trying not to get caught (CSOM, 2016).
