Dumb Law Reflection Journal
Reflection Journal Week Three (10-7-16):
My peers and I have been in trouble for showing up to class late or not showing up to school at all. Occasionally students will get in trouble for talking in class as well as not turning in their homework on time.

This law is a terrible law because it takes away people's basic rights of freedom for choosing how they would want to bathe their donkey. Also not many people have donkeys in the US because of a decreased need for
