Good article here by our good friend Professor Amos Guiora on the importance of bystander interventions and dealing with those enablers in all walks of life that cause so much harm

In this article, CMBF President Meredith Shoop interviews Jessica Berg and Michael Scharf, Co-Deans of the Case Western Reserve University School of Law. The interview discusses their decade-long commitment to the university, the challenges faced and overcome during their tenure, the importance of experiential education, and their efforts towards equity and inclusion in higher education. The Co-Deans also share insights into community engagement, the significance of the Pogue Award, and their future endeavors. https://lnkd.in/eU5hRDk9

As my 2nd semester of 1L begins, I'm looking forward to what all comes in the future and the possible conversations that I can facilitate in the health care space. If you'd like to read more about what I've been up to, this article just came out that highlights some of the reasons why I chose to transition from pre-med to law and specifically why I chose Loyola for law school!

On this day in 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled the state-sanctioned segregation of public schools unconstitutional in the case Brown v. Board of Education, marking a crucial step towards educational equity. Brown v. Board of Education reshaped American education, but the fight for equity in public education is ongoing. The continuous efforts from parents, students, educators, and allies were essential in ensuring desegregation orders were implemented post-ruling. Achieving our mission for an equitable public education will require that same unwavering commitment.

Today, May 17, 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. I was honored to be invited with my husband to the White House to commemorate this landmark decision. For those in the back that keep screaming “why is it always about race”, here’s another in the long list of reasons. Brown v. Board included several cases: Kansas, Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia and DC. The Supreme Court decision stated that “separate but equal” had no place in education. Black children were denied access to white schools, purely based on race, not location. My Mother-in-law, Ruth Ann Scales was denied access to all-white Parkdale Elementary School. Her mother, Vivian Scales, became one of the 13 plaintiffs in Brown v. Board, Topeka KS. Last year, #Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears (a black woman)proudly stood up and proclaimed that Brown v Board was not about race, but “school choice”. I wonder if Lt. Governor Sears knew that Virginia was so against school integration that they passed a group of laws that shut down public schools from 1956-1959 to resist integration. It was known as the Massive Resistance. This is why teaching COMPLETE history is so important. Right now, people are banning topics of race in schools, because those topics are “divisive”. Is the topic really divisive or the truth itself? Try teaching the truth, and perhaps that will provide more understanding and context, instead of trying to pretend these things didn’t happen. #BrownVBoard #RaceInAmerica #History

I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Please note this information about Liberty University. I hope they are not teaching a White Christian Nationalism ideology educational program, and instead encourage a multi-faith, pluralistic society that is inclusive and does not pathologize or stigmatize anyone who leads a different lifestyle choice, or practices a different religion or no religion at all. I also hope that they do not follow the New Apostolic Reformation ideology of C. Peter Wagner who taught at Fuller Theological Seminary years ago. This extremist religious ideology wants to implement a seven mountain mandate based theocracy into every level of civil society to achieve full dominion, power and control over all Americans. Thank you Liberty University for supporting pluralism, fighting racism, protecting our Democratic freedoms, and working towards achieving inclusivity of the wide range of normal human behavior that makes up America, and fighting for social justice in an America torn by toxic politics and extremist religious beliefs during these polarized times.
