A.B 458 was presented by Jason Mills, representing the Nevada Justice Association. The purpose of this bill is to provide additional protections to injured individuals receiving workers compensation. For example, section 3 of the bill states that an individual is entitled to an independent medical examination for a workers compensation claim “that is open or when the closure of a claim is under dispute”. Additionally, Mills stated that section 3 of the bill would provide a second opinion to the injured employee in the form of an independent medical examination on a workers compensation case. Mills added that after speaking with insurers and the industry, he is willing to agree on an amendment in subsection 6 of section 3 of the bill. Since the insurer will have to pay for costs associated with an independent medical examination, Mills agreed with the insurers that they should have the right to see the results of the examination report. Furthermore, the bill would require insurers to provide at least three vocational rehabilitation counselors to the “injured employee or personal or legal representative of the injured employee.” This would give these individuals choices since they currently do not have

On April 23rd, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070, “The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” which it gives the police authority to check immigration status of any individual. The main intention of SB1070 is to cut down a majority of the illegal immigrants entering the United States by having the immigrants carry immigration papers to prove their identification of their legal status. However, SB1070 had focused more on trying to secure the border resulting into taking the citizens’ constitutional rights while causing uproar with a large amount of controversy. The senate bill 1070 that has been passed is causing racial profiling, unconstitutional acts, and has put the federal government into question

In his “Open Letter to the Citizens of Tucson,” Tom Horne explains why he believes ethnic studies should be banned. Horne explains what happened at the Tucson magnet school when a Republican Latina came to speak.

There are many African American public figures, who have inspired the hearts and minds of eager Black youth. These individuals have instilled within the community a sense of purpose and promise which has carried over into following generations. Some of these persons are household names and familiar pop culture icons. Many, however, are the unsung heroes who have continued to work in the shadows, while bringing others into the light of hope. One such individual, Dr. Calvin Williams, began his journey on the concrete slabs and in the dilapidated houses of New Orleans, Louisiana's Lower Ninth Ward.

A benefit of AB109 is that everyone in society will be able to find solutions in order to guarantee safety for everyone as well has offering several programs as a resource for training offenders. I understand that corrections is consuming a lot of money and that training offenders is costly which is why I can see how it could become a challenge but it is also an opportunity to bring ex-offenders back into society. Thus, ex-offenders will now know how to work in a certain place because they have experience, knowledge, and abilities to succeed in a real life job because of the training that they received thanks to the programs offered because of the AB 109. Thanks to all of the programs offered ex-offenders that want to turn their life around to become a good citizen in the community will hopefully have more opportunities for him or her to be able to turn from a criminal delinquent or offender to a well educated, hard working, and wanting to succeed citizen of society. This therefore will case a decreasing rate of reoffender violations for the community because these individuals want to better themselves.

The Banning of Mexican-American Studies in Arizona: The Loss of Freedom in Education The Latino community has a very high high school drop out rate which has been linked to poverty.

Ethnic Studies is a course that offers minority students the chance to learn history from an “alternate Perspective” that is not to say that ethnic studies teaches kids radical, or extreme ideas, but rather teaches them about the unsung heroes of history which are easily forgotten in modern day History courses. It Allows students to discover their true identity and reconnect with their culture. However, some people don’t see it that way. Their are those who oppose the implementation of this course into public schools, Mostly Conservative Republicans. Critics of the course claim It promotes “racial separation”, “linguistic isolation”, and “racial preference.” Others will also claim the course is to “emotionally charged”, and influences kids to rebel against the government, essentially turning them into Anarchists.

European history and British literature are perfectly fine classes in most American high schools, however the government has deemed that Hispanic-culture related classes are unacceptable, despite the positive results shown by the students. The prohibition of the ethnic studies program might revert the student to their old ways of dropping out of high school, which would essentially take away the chicanos’ chance of succeeding in getting a career and obtaining a college education. This is only one example of how minorities may not have equal opportunities as the white majority does due to institutional

In Tucson, Arizona ethnic studies classes caused controversy over what kinds of classes should be allowed in Tucson’s public schools. The Latino population of students was greatly being effected by only a 50% graduation rate. The ethnic studies curriculum was created to engage students with a history from a different cultural viewpoint than what was usually taught in public high school. From the outside of the classroom the opposing forces against ethnic studies believed that the hidden curriculum within the classes was detrimental to students. This was because it was teaching anti-American beliefs along with creating students who would act with rebellious beliefs and racism. From inside the classroom the teachers and students look to their curriculum and insist that their curriculum was more about having courage to examine history, create understanding and respect for one another and one’s self. They believed in looking at problems that the world was facing and not just accepting them but also trying to make a change for the better. The problematic readings were grounded in the courses use of the "Pedagogy of the Oppressed” with ideals that are based in teachings like Marxism.

According to Charles Zastrow, back on history it was difficult to meet the needs of people with cognitive disability. Furthermore, people with mental illness were seen as they were possess by the demons in which people use exorcism to cure the illness.
