Death Penalty

The stages designed to protect the rights of the accused are the direct appeal, the post-conviction review, federal habeas corpus and the clemency.  I believe that this almost guarentees that only the guilty will be convicted because there are so many stages that can get an innocent person out of even the thought of being guilty. 
I feel that death by lethal injection is considered the most humane, only because when the person is killed, they're unconcious.  I think that all of these except for the lethal injection is considered cruel and unsual punishment, because the description of what is happening to the guilty person is unimaginable.  Many of the executions involve the eyes popping out, being burnt, bleeding to death, the lungs collapsing, and bones fracturing to name a few of the symptoms of death.
According to the map, there are more executions in the south than in the north.  I feel like the south has more black people convicted and put into death row than the north due to racism still being in the south. 
Killing someone costs millions of dollars.  It would be financially and economically smarter to just keep convicts in prisons their whole lives and not kill them.  More white people are convicted than any other race, and white people being killed sends the most people to death row.  Most people are against the death penalty.  The DPIC says that most police cheifs are against the death penalty, and think that it is the biggest waste of taxpayers money.

Campus Speech Code

I do not think that the behavior shown in these picture should be banned.  I think that people should be able to express their views, no matter how much people disagree with them.  Laws should not be able to supress the views of the people.
          I looked at Illinois State University, they have an overall red light for speech code.  When I looked into their rules more, I found that some of their rules are very unfair.  In order to arrange a meeting, you must tell the school two weeks in advance, I don't see why we can't just be adults and do what we want without being watched over.  Also were not allowed to say anything that may hurt another groups feelings, not that I would, but I just feel like we have the right to speak our mind.

Drug Testing

After reading the documents, Petitioners v. Lindsay Earls and Veronia School District v. Acton, I find that there should be a greater amount of privacy given to students.  I find it unreasonable to have to drug test student athletes and students participating in extra-curriculars.  I also believe that the drug testing of these student is unreasonable because the schools have no reason to suspect these students of doing drugs and they have no right to drug test them.  High School kids do not give the school administration any plausable cause to drug test all of the students participating in sports or clubs.
Students have the right to make bad choices and do drugs, whether they get caught or not shouldn't be decided by the school.  Schools have no right to drug test their students, even if they are doing extracurriculars and sports.
