CE Quiz

1. What is one suggestion to easing overcrowding and both Bowie and Akins High School that doesn't require building a new school, according to Superintendent Paul Cruz? Page A1 "Decision on South Austin HS..."

Opening up a magnet or academic part of these schools.

2. What is the big deal about Hillary Clinton's email? Page A1 "Clinton says..."

She was supposed to use government email and had destroyed thousands of other emails.

3. Look at the political cartoon on Page A11 - what is the artists message, in your opinion?

With Clinton saying she preferred Apple instead of Android I feel like this cartoon shows how dumb that was for her to answer that in a conference about her emails. The artist is showing this through the use of Apple Watch.

Smaller, more moderately priced apartment homes.

5.  Who are the top 5 Big 12 "locks" for the NCAA basketball tournament according to Kevin Lyttle? Page C1, "Stakes high in Big 12..."

Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Baylor and West Virginia

Short Answer: Read the story on page A2 "School expels two students.

1. Do you think the school took appropriate action in this case? Why or Why not?

Very much, yes. Racism is an ugly, evil thing that shouldn't be tolerated by anyone. Threatening someone for their skin color or where they've come from is absolutely unacceptable.

2. Do you think the free speech principals outlined in the Constitution should extend to this type of behavior? Why or Why not?

No! Everyone is equal in my eyes and this is rude, awful behavior. If it is "accepted" then I'll use my freedom of speech to protest against such such tolerance of something so horrible.

3. If you saw this type of action happening, would you step in and try to stop it? Why or Why not?

Definitely. I have friends who have been victims of racism- even in the smallest of ways. It's ugly and not right. There is no reason anyone should ever be forced to put up with the slandering of their race.

4. Would you record it the behaviors and attempt to provide that information to authorities? Why or Why not?

I'd record what was going on only for use of proof.

5. Should the actions of a couple of students caused the entire fraternal organization to be closed? Why or Why not?

No, if not everyone was participating in this behavior then it should be open for the people who still are there.
