CE 3.2

1. Unusual requests made by the defense attorney for VonTrey Clark's murder arraignment is that the defense attorney came with a filing to prevent attorneys and witnesses from speaking publicly about the case.

2. Students at Princeton are sitting in the President's office because they are refusing to leave until their demands to improve the social and academic experiences of black students on campus are met.

3. The four teams expected to play in the college football playoffs are Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State.

4. The five "platinum" biker-friendly cities in the United States are Madison, Wisconsin, Fort Collins and Boulder, Colorado, Portland, Oregon, and Davis, California.

5. The other films that were compared to The Hunger Games film are "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2", and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2".

Short Answer:

I don't think that this is a good decision by the board because they made the decision not to proof-read the textbooks before sending them out to schools for students to use. Because of the board not checking the facts and wording, students who read these textbooks can receive false information and learn the wrong thing. This can cause many, many problems in the future. I think that the example explaining in the caption about how the slaves from Africa were workers is completely unacceptable. Students who don't know the real story about the slaves' journey from Africa to America could have the idea that these slaves came by choice due to the unacceptable word choice. These people were slaves, they were forced against their free will, but that's not what impression the textbook is giving. Yes! Textbooks should be checked by as many experts and officials as there can possibly be. The more accurate the textbooks are, the better information the next generations are getting. With inefficient information, the future adults can have learned the wrong facts that will hurt the world and the people that live in it. I did think that my textbooks were accurate, but after reading this article, I'm questioning if what I've learned is correct information.
