Perplexing Federal Cases from Mississippi: Lessons for School Administrators
Planning and Changing Lindon J. Ratliff Vol. 41, No. 3/4, 2010, pp. 198–209 PERPLEXING FEDERAL CASES FROM MISSISSIPPI: LESSONS FOR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS Abstract Federal court cases are examined in an effort to view recent First Amendment rights infringements which have occurred in Mississippi. Case law reinforces students’ rights to wear same-sex outfits to school functions as well as to bring same-sex dates. Connection to a recent civil rights in- vestigation by the NAACP into a north Mississippi middle school demon- strates the strength of the organization inside Mississippi. Combined, the recent court cases and threats of litigation suggest that a stronger under- standing of homosexual rights, as protected by the First Amendment, is necessary for administrators. In the spring of 2010, the national spotlight was focused on a small rural school district in Mississippi. The political and legal firestorm which followed ultimately involved a federal judge, the ACLU, and an American Idol judge. The consequences of the case, along with the federal judge’s rul- ing, should be used as a tool to stress to all current and future school admin- istrators the importance of protecting a student’s first amendment rights. The First Amendment Rights Choice of Same Sex Date at a School Function School administrators must first make the distinction between dress codes and uniform policies. A dress code distinguishes what must not be worn and a uniform policy states what must be worn. Dress codes for the most part have been allowed by the federal courts, while uniform poli- cies and the limits of such an action have been challenged.

Low Male Voice Repertoire in Contemporary Musical Theatre: a Studio and Performance Guide of Selected Songs 1996-2020
LOW MALE VOICE REPERTOIRE IN CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL THEATRE: A STUDIO AND PERFORMANCE GUIDE OF SELECTED SONGS 1996-2020 by Jeremy C. Gussin Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music Indiana University December 2020 Accepted by the faculty of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music Doctoral Committee __________________________________________ Ray Fellman, Research Director __________________________________________ Brian Gill, Chair __________________________________________ Jane Dutton __________________________________________ Peter Volpe December 10, 2020 ii Copyright © 2020 Jeremy Gussin iii Preface This project is intended to be a resource document for bass voices and teachers of low male voices at all levels. For the purposes of this document, I will make use of the established term low male voice (LMV) while acknowledging that there is a push for the removal of gender from voice classification in the industry out of respect for our trans, non-binary and gender fluid populations. In addition to analysis and summation of musical concepts and content found within each selection, each repertoire selection will include discussions of style, vocal technique, vocalism, and character in an effort to establish routes towards authenticity in the field of musical theatre over the last twenty five years. The explosion of online streaming and online sheet music resources over the last decade enable analysis involving original cast recordings, specific noteworthy performances, and discussions on transposition as it relates to the honoring of character and capability of an individual singer. My experiences with challenges as a young low voice (waiting for upper notes to develop, struggling with resonance strategies above a D♭4) with significant musicianship prowess left me searching for a musically challenging outlet outside of the Bel Canto aesthetic.
