My topic for my blogger is Trayvon Martin. The article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trayvon_Martin is about a boy named Trayvon Martin who was killed for no reason at all. Trayvon is the most talked about right now in the news. People have had walks to get justice for Trayvon Martin downtown. The police are not arresting Trayvon's killer and the parents are outraged and so are people. Heres his story, Trayvon was walking home from the store he had bought a bag of skittles and a arizona. Well While he was on his way home a man followed him and killed him. Trayvon's shooting took place on February 26, 2012. A 28 year old man names George Zimmeman killed Trayvon and he is latin american and white. Trayvon had been walking to his dads girlfriends house from 7eleven when he was being followed by Zimmerman. Zimmerman called the police before he shot Martin sying he witnessed some suspicious behavior. Soon after that he fatally shot Martin. Zimmerman said he had reacted in self defense. The police did not arrest Zimmerman because they said on March 12 that they did not find evidence to contradict his assertion of self-defense.The circumstances of Martin's death reached national and international news. Many  people, from civil rights leaders to public officials including Reverend Al Sharpton, President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi have made public comments or released statements about the shooting. People said he ws just on his way home and the man shot Trayvon just because they were racist. I beleive that racism still occurs today and others don't. But that's only because people don't bring racism to a front police try to sweep it under the rug. I truly believe if this was a white boy and a black man who had killed them that the man would have been arrested. Now that can't happen because Zimmerman is in hiding. And if they do try to arrest him they would have to find him first. All this could of been avoided if justice was served when it had to be. 

The article my blog will be about and is called is "For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Of Marriage." The article discuss reasons why women are having children without being married. Some reasons are women have birth control so they are having more sex because they are on the pill. Some people think it is the way they were raised and what they had to look up too. More women work so they don't need a man to support them so they aren't really forced to marry. Back then women were more pressured to marry a man if they were having their child. The government came up with a program called welfare and it gives out food stamps. Women feel that the person they are going to marry will be the love of their live and there soulmate. They look for the person that is just the one for them so some women don't feel like they should marry their baby's daddy. I do agree with the reasons that the liberals and the conservatives have came up with. I think less people are marrying before they have kids because it is something that is a value to them and there morals are different from the ones back then. I think it is a bad thing that women are having kids without being married because to me that is nasty. My parents raised me to believe that the first thing you should do is get married even before sex. This trend is a very bad thing and it isn't a good example for our generation. My parents are currently married at the moment but they are now going through a divorce. I'm glad my parents were married while they were raising me because it helped me to be a better child but more importantly a better person. They taught me values, morals, and respect. And i loved that they did that for me. I would love to get married in the future that is a very important goal for me. I want to raise a beautiful family. I want to be married before I have any children at all. I wanty to wait til after I am married to have children because that is the traditional way. And it is the right way to me.

The article I am writing about is called "Teacher apologizes for calling student a b-word. The article http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8569859 is about a teacher who called a student out of her name. He called her a b. A math teacher named Mr. Lewis who works at Pencader Charter School in New Castle used profanity to show his frustration with a student. There were two videos made by the student. The student that recorded the videos is named Joey St. Pierre and he was suspended for 10 days for recording it. Mr. Lewis says he didn't give his consent to be recorded, but St. Pierre's mother claims her son did nothing wrong. One video was deleted and one was saved. On the second video the teacher didn't seem very apologetic for his actions in front of the class. Lewis said “I don't care. Makes no difference to me. I don't back down and I don't make excuses for my actions." Mr. Lewis said "If Mrs. Lewis or Mrs. Frazier came to me and said 'did I call her a b-----? I'll say yeah. I said she acts like spoiled b---- and she does." The mother was very upset and disturbed with the teacher’s choice of words. She said "That's abuse. You don't curse at a child because you are having a bad day. You got into the educational profession to teach and instruct." The student said she was only asking the teacher for help in math when he snapped on her. But Mr. Lewis sat down with the news and apologized. He claimed that he is not a monster and is far from that! He does not want what happen to effect or determine his 41 years of teaching. I think that the teacher was wrong on many levels. And I think that he needs to be fired immediately. I don't think that his actions should be excused or over looked because he was out of line. A lot of teachers use profanity and there is no consequence. This is a big issue and I think that this should be looked into. I do understand that some students do get out of control and are hard to handle, but what he did was just unacceptable.
