Coexistir (Gaelic)

Hello AMERICA! 

So now that we looked at the global effects of tolerance, how about in our own country! Teaching tolerance in America is really important. This country, thought it's come a long way since the early 20th century, there are still many problems. In the early 20th century, women got the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. In the 1960’s, the Civil Rights Act was passed, prohibiting segregation and discrimination based on a person’s race. In the summer of 2011, New york passed a Gay Marriage law, allowing same sex couples to wed. Each of these groups have come a long way since the beginning of the 20th century. Even though these laws and bills were passed, all receive some sort of prejudice against them.

So, how affective can teaching tolerance be in 2011 within America? instead of Gay Marriage being legal in some states, it would be legal in all states. There would be no looking into race on applications for jobs or college. There would be no gender bias when it comes to sports in high school, college, or professionally.

Second Challenge!

Here is my second challenge to all you human beings! Speak up in your community! What I mean by this, try to get coed sports in your high school. Write to your senator and congressmen and push for gay rights. There is so much you can do!
