Net Neutrality
I know a lot of people had a good laugh about "the tubes" and then thought nothing of it. The truth is that the internet as we know it could be in serious trouble. With huge internet service providers like AT&T and Verizon on board and moron senators filling their pockets, legislature could pass allowing ISP's to control what content we can and cannot see.
Stratford High School, Goose Creek, South Carolina
Following the raid, the ACLU brought a lawsuit on behalf of students’ families charging police and school officials with violating the students’ right to be free from unlawful search and seizure and use of excessive force. The lawsuit demanded a court order declaring the raid unconstitutional and blocking the future use of such tactics, as well as damages on behalf of the students.
In addition to recognizing students’ rights to be free from unconstitutional search and seizure and restricting police tactics, the settlement establishes a $1.6 million dollar fund to compensate the students and help cover medical and counseling costs from the incident. The students were in grade 9 to 12.
