Chris Moss vs. Dr. Terry Preece and the Edgewoord Unified School Distr
Chris Moss vs. Dr. Terry Preece and the Edgewoord Unified School District

May it please the court, counsel: My name is Zach Keeton and along with my co-counsel Chad Miller and Eric Page , we represent Mr. Chris Moss in this case. Your honor this is the case of Chris Moss Vs. Dr. Terry Preece and the Edgewood Unified School District.

The evidence will show that Chris is part way through 12th grade, and in fact he can't even read. Your honor this is very alarming to us because of one simple fact: Chris has never failed one of his reading class.

The evidence will show that there was educational malpractice in this case. We will also show that the Edgewood School district has a set of guide lines which is passed down from the state of Independence. The guide lines are better known as statutes. They state: 1. Each school shall develop proficiency standards which shall include reading comprehension, writing and computation skills in the English language, necessary to success in school and LIFE experiences. 2. The competent educator shall use or promote the use of appropriate diagnostic techniques to analyze the needs and potential of individuals. 3. Each competent administrator shall support the process of learning by providing appropriate and reasonable materials and equipment and by making reasonable assignments and tasks. These are applicable laws that are supposed to met by all the school district in the state of Independence, including the Edgewood School District.

Through evidence which the court will hear today, we will prove that Dr.
Terry Preece , the school superintendend made it a point to pass all of the students in his school district whenever possible.

On the other hand we will call 3 witness to testify during the course of this case. The first witness which we will call is Chris himself. He will state that he has problems reading a simple restaurant menu. What again alarms us about this fact is that Chris passed his 11th grade

    The case of Brown vs. Board of Education, was one of the biggest turning points for African Americans to becoming accepted into the white society at the time. Brown vs board of education is one of the most important cases that african americans has brought upon the united states for the better. The case Brown vs. Board of Education wasn't just about the children and the education; it was about being equal in a society that says african and americans are treated equal, in fact they were definitely not. This case was the reason that blacks and whites no longer have separate restrooms, and water fountains, this was the case that truly destroyed the saying separate but equal. It started in Topeka, Kansas, a african american third-grader named Linda Brown had to walk one mile through a railroad switchyard to get to her african american elementary school. Linda's father Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her in the white elementary school seven blocks from her house, but the principal of the school refused simply because the child was african american. That didn't stop Oliver Brown from fighting for his daughters education. There were 13 other parents wanting their african american children enrolled to the white school. The parents filed suit against Topeka Board of Education for their children. Oliver Brown was the first name listed in the lawsuit. During the time of the lawsuits african americans were treated very unfairly. Oliver Brown had went to NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to fight to get Linda in the white school. The NAACP hired lawyers to fight for dark skin children all around the United States to be able to go to the same schools as white children. The 14 Amendment was violated by this case. It states that anyone colored or not born in the US is equal. The states referred this case as the Plessy vs. Ferguson which had allowed separate but equal school systems for whites and african americans…

    The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Board of Education v. Pico discussed the issue of whether the school's board acted morally. The school board decided to remove nine books that they deemed to be anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and just plain filthy. The Supreme Court was asked to decide if the school board had valid reasons to remove these books from the school's library. The books weren't required readings and were optional information for the students to extend their personal interests and thoughts. The First amendment was the main issue that became the focal point of this case. The majority opinion reflected what five judges concluded after they were presented with the case. They agreed that the First amendment imposes limitations on the school boards reasons to remove the books from the library's shelves. Students do not vacate their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression as they enter the school's property. Removing the books implicitly violated the student's rights because there weren't any valid reasons provided by the school board. The school board has the power of deciding which curriculum provides the values associated with its community, but not beyond the environment of the classroom and into the voluntary confines of the library. The petitioner's motivation to remove these books, were fueled by partisan and political factors. The school board didn't have sufficient evidence to remove these books, other than they disliked the ideas contained in the books. This is a violation of the Constitution. The dissenting judges disagreed with the majority opinion because they believed the Board's actions were justified. Judge Mansfield believed that the undisputed evidence of the motivation for the Board's action was perfectly permissible saying that the books were indecent, in bad taste, and unsuitable for educational purposes. His position was proven because he thought the Board acted…
