ERA

I do support the idea of the ERA because they supported women's rights. They tried to get equal rights for men and women legalized. I feel as if women and men should both be treated equally because there is not much to differ between the two genders besides reproductive organs. Women can do the same things as men and there should be laws for it. I believe that the ERA should be revised and the bill should be passed because all the Constitution says is that all men should be treated equally and women are not apart of that at all and they should be. It does not matter if that means that they have to change it to involve African Americans to because it should be that way not just white men. This country constantly says how everyone is treated equally and if so they should put it in the U.S. Constitution to make it official.

Jackie Robinson Question Number 6

6. In my personal opinion I believe that Jackie Robinson did many great things for the advancement in Civil Rights. He endured an amount of abuse that many people would not be able to endure. He went through the abuse to be able to prove to people that he was an amazingly talented baseball player no matter what race he was. He never even reacted to the racist people that harassed him, he just let it go and that is much harder and takes much more courage than fighting back and reacting badly. I believe that Jackie Robinson is ranked number two as the greatest Civil Rights figure in American History and that the only person above him in that list would be Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..

The Butter Battle Book

After the Zooks and Yooks realized that the fighting was unnecessary they decided that they will switch off eating the bread with the butter side up and up side down. When they got off of the wall it miraculously fell and they decided never to put another wall up and they will live together in harmony because it really doesn't matter what side you butter your toast.
