Brandon Trinh's Arguments Against The Controversy
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today we are charging Brandon Trinh with the violation of a weapon on school grounds. On April 21st, School Resource Officer of Great Oak High School, Israel Sosa, made a police report upon an allegation of suspect Brandon Trinh carrying a knife on school campus. Upon further investigation, Brandon admitted to carrying a pocket knife with a 3’’ blade for several months for the sole purpose of intimidation against the bullies in his JROTC class and had reportedly stated he “only showed one other student.”. Despite the multiple school counselors on site, Trinh acknowledged his mistake in not informing one. Although his demeanor against the bullies was in a defensive way, the intimidation tactic itself

    The Assassination Of Steven Kazmierczak

    On February 14, 2008, at 3:06 p.m., a tall thin man named Steven Kazmierczak kicked open a door to a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University where he shot dead 5 people. When he found his was in the lecture hall he walked on to the stage and bore several guns. The 150 students that were sitting in the lecture hall assumed it was all a joke until he shot dead the professor. Several student hurled themselves to the floor between the chairs while others just shrieked. Kazmierczak took aim at those very urged students. He was just stepping up the aisles shooting with no hesitation at the people who he noticed to be in an urge to leave. Then, two bands of police officers arrived announcing the school students to stay in a safe area away from…

    James V. Meow Media and the Role of Responsibility

    In James v. Meow Media Inc., Michael Carneal, an avid video-gamer, is responsible for the murder of his high school peers. Research of Carneal’s daily habits showed that the content of his video games was a potential cause of his disastrous behavior. When dealing with a minor, factors of life while approaching the level of maturity must be taken into consideration. This case shows the ease in which fingers are pointed in efforts to protect a child in need of help. Negligence was the common theme for why the affected families felt Meow Media owed a duty of care. In the case of a 14 year-old minor, the presence and the proactive nature of a parent is vital. Because Carneal’s parents failed to take the action needed to prevent such behavior, is it truly fair to say that the negligence falls on the company? This reaction will discuss the subjectivity of such cases in which responsibility is put into the hands of the undeserving.…

    Jena 6

    On September 2006 in Jena, Louisiana a black student asked for permission from a school teacher to sit under the shade of a tree but only white students sat under that tree I was called the white tree. School officials told the black students that they could sit wherever they wanted to sit and they did. The next day three nooses, in the school colors, were seen hanging from the white tree. The school principal found out that three white students were responsible for hanging the three nooses. The principal recommended that the three white students be expelled but the white superintendent over ruled the principal and gave the three students a three day suspension. The superintendent did not expel the students because he believed that the nooses were only a youthful stunt. When black students found out about the nooses they decided to organize a sit in under the tree to protest the lenient treatment given to the noose hanging white students. Racial tensions remained elevated throughout the fall but on Monday, December 4, 2006, a white student who allegedly had been racially taunting black students in support of the students who hung the nooses got into a fight with the black students. Allegedly the white student was taken to the hospital for treatment for being beat but he was later released and attended a social function later that day. As a result of the incident six black students were arrested and charged with attempted second degree murder. All six of the black students were expelled from school and were charged with 140,000 dollars or less bail. On the morning of the trial the District Attorney reduced the charged with attempted second degree murder to second degree aggravated battery and conspiracy. The prosecutor was allowed to argue with the jury that the tennis shoes worn by Bell could be considered a dangerous weapon. When the pool of potential jurors was summoned fifty white people appeared. The jury…

    Woodlawn Trial

    There is a boy in all of your high school advanced classes. You talk to him regularly, but not quite enough to spend time together outside of school. He is what your parents would call “a good kid”, attentive, friendly, and polite. You know about his friends and his family, his activities and his interests, his grades and his religion. And you know about the end of his previous relationship. But one day, you hear rumors going around that he was convicted of first degree murder of another classmate, his ex-girlfriend, to be exact. This could never happen, right? Well, in Baltimore, Maryland, this was a reality for many students attending Woodlawn High School in 1999. However, his trial did not provide sufficient evidence to incriminate him.…

    Matthew Fraser Speech

    Symbols, signs, negative slogans, vulgarities, and racial/ethnic slurs can also be considered a way of exhibiting that First Amendment right. Sometimes these actions, while believed to be allowable in “free speech” can also be considered to be offensive or disruptive to the school environment. In the case, Brogdon v. Lafon, 217 Fed. Appx. 518, 523 (6th Cir. 2007), the school board had numerous documented incidences of racially motivated occurrences that were interfering with the students constitutionally protected right to an education. In the previous year, the school had to be put on lock-down with the continual presence of sheriff’s deputies due to a physical altercation between a white student and an African-American student. A civil rights complaint was made against the school system due to this…

    Fist Stick Knife Gun

    Violence was a huge recurring issue throughout Geoffrey Canada’s book Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun. The book drew upon numerous incidents of violence encountered by Geoffrey himself, his daughter, and his students. As a child growing up in the Bronx, it was essential that Canada knew how to fight. Ironically not fighting often caused more pain and difficulties in the long run than fighting did. Canada was an intelligent child and was more advanced than many of his peers in the community therefore he was placed in more advanced classes. The problem with these classes was that students often associated being smart with being weak and not being able to stand up for yourself. In the Bronx, fighting at school was a norm and it was a way to gain respect from your peers. Canada chose to fight as a child because he knew doing so would have a positive impact on his educational experience. Proving that he was both smart and tough was essential to his survival in the Bronx. Canada’s daughter on the other hand, growing up in Boston was not raised around the scale of violence that he had grown up with. One day while on the bus she was attacked by another child, her face was bleeding from being scratched. Prior to this event she had no worries and never focused much on violence. Unfortunately after this incident she was forced to realize that violence is a reality for many people even at school, where you think you are the safest. Both Canada and his daughter had to face the reality that violence was unfortunately a norm in their communities. It was important for them to not let others take advantage of them and to be able to stand up for themselves if need be. They also understood that violence was a last resort, they did not go looking for trouble and tried to solve issues with conversation as much as they could.…

    Zero Tolerance

    The zero tolerance policy was created to prevent weapons from being bro9ught to school, but how far is too far? In a junior or senior high setting the policy is more understood and justified, however, in an elementary setting one may argue that the policy is a little harsh. How does one classify what a weapon is? While it is easy to discuss typical weapons, for example guns or knife, it may not be so easy to distinguish between others like pepper spray or homemade bombs. This paper will discuss the authors’ opinion on zero tolerance in the elementary setting and create a plan of action for a scenario.…

    Bullying In Martial Arts

    While the overall statistic of violence on the school grounds has decreased in the last decade, Robers et al. found, “Seventy-four percent of schools have recorded one or more violent incidents of crime (a rate of 25 crimes per 1,000 students enrolled)” (2015, p. 28). Indicating the issue is more widespread and affecting more communities than in the past. One only needs to remember the events of Columbine High School and the quiet community of Littleton, Colorado to recognize the necessity of early preventative measures. According to Ziaee, Lotfian, Amini, Mansournia, Mohammad-Ali, and Memari (2012, p.12), adolescent karateka showed lower levels of anger and greater anger control when compared to persons who do not participate in athletics. This anger regulation comes from learning a series of movements against an imaginary opponent, called kata. These kata are repeatedly practiced until the student has demonstrated proper regulation and mastery of the movements; only then is the student allowed to learn the next kata. Additionally, students receive constant reminders that they must avoid conflict, and utilize aggressive actions only when someone’s life is in grave danger. By providing martial arts training, students gain valuable skills in meditation, conflict resolution, and…

    In Ponchatoula Louisiana, a 12-year-old who had been diagnosed with a hyperactive disorder warned the kids in the lunch line not to eat all the potatoes, or "I'm going to get you." The student, turned in by the lunch monitor, was suspended for two days. He was then referred to police by the principal, and the police charged the boy with making "terroristic threats." He was incarcerated for two weeks while awaiting trial.…

    Arming Teachers In Schools

    Since the establishment of public education in the United States, schools have provided a sense of security and belonging to their students. Although sitting through lectures and doing homework may not be the most exciting thing in the world, students will always have a lunch to eat, a roof over their head, and a supportive teacher or counselor that they can talk to. Despite the “safe” environment and presence of authoritative figures on school campuses, trouble always finds a way to break out. Simple misbehaving and occasional fights are a common occurrence on most school campuses, however a new breed of troublesome and violent students has hatched. The type of violence that nobody should ever witness or be involved in, a crime so sickening that no proper-functioning human being could ever commit. Now, more common than ever before, school shootings threaten the lives of those who attend school, jeopardizing the structure of public education. Will students and faculty continue going to school, just hoping that someone won’t come in campus with a high powered assault rifle and slaughter everyone in their sights, or will educators rise to the occasion and protect their students?…

    Twelfth Night Observation

    In my humble opinion, this entire incident begins and ends with the actions of Mr. Reese. The school is trying to protect itself, and Mr. Reese, from an investigation into the excessive use of corporal punishment in emergency situations. I have the advantage of hearing from many students details which somehow are not present in the statements presented as proof. Like a large puzzle I have taken all the tidbits of information and through my own actions made sense of it. Would anybody else come to the same conclusions, I believe so. Would these conclusions stand up in a Court of Law, that I couldn't begin to answer.…

    Hate Crimes in America

    The fact that Congress recognizes crimes motivated by bias as more serious than the crime committed alone is not in question. “Congress has passed the Hate Crimes Sentencing Enhancement Act, which increases penalties for some federal crimes when they are motivated by bias.” The debate is whether or not these laws should be applied to the widespread appearance of nooses since 2007, when the treatment of the “Jena 6” received nationwide press coverage. Nooses were hung in a tree at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana, which caused racial tensions to escalate over the months following August 2006, after the principle was overruled when he recommended expelling the students found responsible for the outrage. A black student was attacked in November by a mob of white students, of which one member of the group was charged with battery and released on probation. In turn, a white student was attacked after taunting the victim of the previous beating. But the black students did not get off so easy. They…
