    1. Cole-Turner goes on to argue that the charged religious context is responsible for the failure in the U.S to develop a regulatory framework concerning embryonic research

      Could it be a good thing that religion has curbed the research? Does it in some ways protect religion freedom?

    2. Scientists believe that continuing embryonic stem cell research will lead to two things: the cure to various deadly diseases and a further understanding of human development. Stem cell lines grown in the lab

      How would the people who do believe life starts at conception (which is a large portion of the population) be able to accept this form of research?

    1. While Trump has called for deporting all of the undocumented immigrants in the United States

      Why could deporting illegal immigrants from the country be a good thing?

    1. The kids loved it — and so, more or less, did the lunch ladies. The food industry made their programs hum, made it possible to serve hundreds or thousands of meals, often without working kitchens, in lunch periods as short as 25 minutes. Big food companies became partners in every way: Most held associate memberships in the School Nutrition Association and helped finance it with industry advertising and membership fees.

      If the government were to put more regulations on the nutrition of school lunches how would they combat the angry students and lunch ladies that like things the way they are?

    2. Michelle Obama started Let’s Move!, her campaign against child obesity, in 2010, the members of the School Nutrition Association were her natural allies.

      How would those who oppose the First Lady's movement react to their children having to follow her guidelines at school? Would there be protests? How would 'Let's Move' counteract the protests?

    1. Both sides will just want to let the (right) people vote.

      What's the definition of the "right" people to vote?

    1. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime--the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.

      Allusion, comparing Jesus to the movement.

    2. It is true that the police have exercised a degree of discipline in handling the demonstrators. In this sense they have conducted themselves rather "nonviolently" in public. But for what purpose? To preserve the evil system of segregation. Over the past few years I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek. I have tried to make clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends

      I think this paragraph is a great summation of the point of the letter and the movement as a whole. It gives grounds to their cause and drives home the point to opposing religious leaders.

    3. The Negro has many pent up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them

      Cause and effect. It's better they release them nonviolently through marches.
