    Comparison of Title Vii to Section 760.10 of the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992

    Did the Title VII section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (updated in 1991) go far enough and provide adequate protection for the U.S. workforce? For the vast majority of states, the answer is a resounding yes; most states defer to the federal legislation for employment-related discrimination laws. There are, however, a handful of states that have enacted their own versions of Title VII; in doing so, they are effectively saying that no, Title VII does not meet the needs of our state. One state that has enacted its own form of employment discrimination laws is Florida; in 1992, the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992. Section 760.10 specifically addresses many of the same issues covered by Title VII protections. What is the same, and what is different, between the two Acts? This paper will summarize the two sets of laws, describe the similarities, and detail the distinct differences between Title VI, the federal law, and Section 760.10 of the Florida law.…

    Equal Opportunity Act: War On Poverty

    The Equal Opportunity Act of 1964 led to the creation of the War on Poverty. President Johnson created it and it focused on bringing awareness to poverty nationally. The War on Poverty promoted opportunities to the poor through public works and training. It focused on three main programs which are head start, the Job Corps, and community action (Hazirijan, P. 229). Head start provided preschool education for the minorities.
