Hi Mrs D!
One thing that I can connect to with the BOR is the limit on speech. One thing that actually happened to me before is that someone spray painted my Dad’s car 2 weeks ago. This is a limit on speech because people cannot use obscenities in public. What they spray painted on the car was an obscenity. This instantly reminded me of this event when I read the packet.
(Hong Kong) – Chinese government officials in provinces with high rates of industrial pollution are restricting access to lead testing, withholding and falsifying test results, and denying children treatment, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Family members and journalists seeking information about the problem are intimidated and harassed, Human Rights Watch said. Such actions violate Chinese law and condemn hundreds of thousands of children to permanent mental and physical disabilities.

Hi Ms. D!
I was writing my notes that I missed from class, and had a connection for The Bill of Rights slideshow. On the 7th slide it says: “People cannot: Break the law and claim it is religious beliefs.” This reminded me of a TV show I once watched. I was watching COPS after school. The cops had found a man walking down the street; the man had bloodshot eyes. They could tell he was smoking weed. When they read him his rights, he kept on saying that it is because of his religion and his God. He was of the Rastafarian religion.
That slideshow instantly reminded me of that show from Cops!
