  • African American Males and the Motivation to Homeschool
    Journal of African American Males in Education Spring 2014- Vol. 5 Issue 1 “I’m Keeping My Son Home”: African American Males and the Motivation to Homeschool Garvey Lundy Ama Mazama Montgomery County Community College Temple University Academic interest in homeschooling has increased over the last decade, as what was once perceived as a marginal development has turned into a significant and growing phenomenon. There has been, in recent years, a noticeable surge in African American involvement in the homeschooling movement as well. However, there continues to be a general paucity of research on the motivations of homeschooling African American parents. It is the purpose of this essay to explore how a deep concern for their sons undergirds African American parents’ decision to embrace homeschooling. In that respect, based on interviews of homeschooling parents from metropolitan areas of the Northeast and Midwest, homeschooling is portrayed as an ideal panacea to counter the many obstacles faced by African American males. It is said to (1) provide a safe space where healthy notions of African American masculinity can be constructed, (2) protect African American males from possible entanglement in the criminal justice system, and (3) serve as an effective means to teach and shield African American males from biased expectations of teachers, and society at large. Keywords: African American males; homeschooling; protectionist Homeschooling, the education of school-aged children at home rather than in public or private school settings (Basham, 2001), has experienced an increase in academic interest over the last decade, as what was once perceived as a marginal development has turned into a significant and growing phenomenon.

  • ADHD Parents Medication Guide Revised July 2013
    ADHD Parents Medication Guide Revised July 2013 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Prepared by: American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and American Psychiatric Association Supported by the Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund Physician: ___________________________________________________ Address: ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Phone: ___________________________________________________ Email: ___________________________________________________ ADHD Parents Medication Guide – July 2013 2 Introduction Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty paying attention, excessive activity, and impulsivity (acting before you think). ADHD is usually identified when children are in grade school but can be diagnosed at any time from preschool to adulthood. Recent studies indicate that almost 10 percent of children between the ages of 4 to 17 are reported by their parents as being diagnosed with ADHD. So in a classroom of 30 children, two to three children may have ADHD.1,2,3,4,5 Short attention spans and high levels of activity are a normal part of childhood. For children with ADHD, these behaviors are excessive, inappropriate for their age, and interfere with daily functioning at home, school, and with peers. Some children with ADHD only have problems with attention; other children only have issues with hyperactivity and impulsivity; most children with ADHD have problems with all three. As they grow into adolescence and young adulthood, children with ADHD may become less hyperactive yet continue to have significant problems with distraction, disorganization, and poor impulse control. ADHD can interfere with a child’s ability to perform in school, do homework, follow rules, and develop and maintain peer relationships. When children become adolescents, ADHD can increase their risk of dropping out of school or having disciplinary problems.

  • August 2014 Medical Marijuana and Your Workforce - Part III Drug Tests, Zero Tolerance Policies and Unemployment Compensation
    LAW OFFICE OF LORI A. GOLDSTEIN, LLC CLIENT BULLETIN August 2014 Medical Marijuana and Your Workforce - Part III Drug Tests, Zero Tolerance Policies and Unemployment Compensation This is the final in a three-part series covering the new Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and what it means for employers. Drug Testing Until the Illinois courts provide more guidance, employers should proceed with caution when a registered patient tests positive for marijuana on a pre-employment or employee drug screening. Since cannabis can remain in the body for several weeks, a positive drug test does not necessarily mean that an applicant or employee is impaired at the time of the test. Employers must be careful not to reject a registered patient’s application based solely based on a positive drug test, unless hiring the applicant presents a public safety risk (e.g., security guard or driver positions). Evaluate drug test results for registered patient employees on a case-by-case basis, permitting the employee to explain or contest the basis of a positive test result. Zero Tolerance Policies and Privacy Laws Can employers in states legalizing marijuana include marijuana in zero tolerance drug policies? How are privacy rights affected? Many states, including Illinois, forbid employers from terminating employees for lawful activities conducted during nonworking hours (Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act.) But if the Illinois courts follow the courts of other states, employers will have more freedom to discipline a registered patient who tests positive for marijuana. The Colorado Supreme Court will soon be considering this issue.

  • Should Per Se Limits Be Imposed for Cannabis? Equating Cannabinoid Blood Concentrations with Actual Driver Impairment: Practical Limitations and Concerns
    HUMBOLDT JOURNAL OF SOCIAL RELATIONS—ISSUE 35, 2013 Should Per Se Limits Be Imposed For Cannabis? Equating Cannabinoid Blood Concentrations with Actual Driver Impairment: Practical Limitations and Concerns Paul Armentano National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Fourteen US states have amended their longstanding, effect-based DUI drug laws to per se or zero tolerant per se statutes in regard to cannabis. Other states are considering enacting similar legislation. Under these amended traffic safety laws, it is a criminal violation for one to operate a motor vehicle with trace levels of cannabinoids or their metabolites in his or her blood or urine. Opponents of per se cannabinoid limits argue that neither the presence of cannabinoids nor their metabolites are appropriate or consistent predictors of behavioral or psychomotor impairment. They further argue that the imposition of such per se limits may result in the criminal conviction of individuals who may have previously consumed cannabis at some unspecified point in time, but were no longer under its influence. As more states enact statutory changes allowing for the legal use of cannabis under certain circumstances, there is a growing need to re-examine the appropriateness of these proposed per se standards for cannabinoids and their metabolites because the imposition of such limits may, in some instances, inadvertently criminalize behavior that poses no threat to traffic safety,

  • Adhd Labeling and Treatment of Children in Japan 1
    CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 1 2018 ADHD labeling and treatment of children in Japan CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS JAPAN CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS EUROPE January 2018 CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 2 CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 3 Introduction Children in Japan are being labeled with the psychiatric diagnosis attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and given psychiatric drugs in order to control the symptoms labeled as ADHD, just as in many European and American countries. The rate of the drugs used are different than those in Europe and the USA which is caused mainly by earlier abuses of psychostimulant drugs causing some of these to be banned and secondly a zero tolerance to drugs use in general (the psychostimulants used in the control of ADHD labeled children are actual drugs with a high abuse potential). Large international pharmaceuticals are increasingly focusing on releasing new types of drugs on the Japanese market that can be prescribed to children labelled with ADHD such as lisdexamfetamine and guanfacine (sold under the name Intuniv). The Japanese market is being described as “the world’s third-biggest market for ADHD treatments” and is growing at more than 20 percent annually.1 Japanese children in early studies were found to be among those less considered fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Yet, marketing efforts and American psychiatrists have promoted the American concept of various behavioural symptoms clustered together and called ADHD, to a degree, that a large number of parents have taken on the concept.

  • Zero Tolerance and Exclusionary School Discipline Policies Harm Students and Contribute to the Cradle to Prison Pipeline ® the Problem: Pushing Students out of School
    ISSUE BRIEF November 2012 Zero Tolerance and Exclusionary School Discipline Policies Harm Students and Contribute to the Cradle to Prison Pipeline ® The Problem: Pushing Students Out of School ut-of-school suspensions and expulsions—discipl ine Opractices that exclude children from school—have increased dramatically in the United States since the 1970s. This increase is largely due to schools’ overre - liance on “zero tolerance” policies. The Dignity in Schools Campaign describes zero tolerance as “a school discipline policy or practice that results in an automatic disciplinary consequence such as in-school or out-of-school suspension, expulsion, or involuntary school transfer for any student who commits one or more listed offenses. A school discipline policy may be a zero tolerance policy even if administrators have some discretion to modify the consequence on a case-by-case basis.” 1 Zero tolerance policies impose automatic and harsh discipline for a wide range of student infractions, s s i L including non-violent disruptive behavior, truancy, e v e dress code violations, and insubordination. Even when t S © o school policies don’t impose automatic suspensions for t o h behavior, the culture of overzealous exclusion from P school that is fostered by the zero tolerance mindset school year involved weapons or drugs, while 64% of has created a situation in which children are being suspensions were for “disobedient or disruptive behavi or,” removed from school for increasingly minor behavior truancy, or “intimidation.” 3 These policies are a issues.

  • The School to Prison Pipeline (STPP)
    125 Broad Street New York, NY 10004 212.607.3300 212.607.3318 www.nyclu.org ZERO TOLERANCE DISCIPLINE, DISCRIMINATION, AND THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE The School to Prison Pipeline (STPP) is a nationwide system of local, state, and federal education and public safety policies that pushes students out of school and into the criminal justice system. The system disproportionately targets youth of color and youth with disabilities. Inequities in areas such as school discipline, policing practices, high-stakes testing, wealth and healthcare distribution, school “grading” systems, and the prison-industrial complex all contribute to the Pipeline. The STPP operates directly and indirectly. Directly, schools send their students into the Pipeline through zero tolerance policies, and involving the police in minor discipline incidents. All too often school rules are enforced through metal detectors, pat-downs and frisks, arrests, and referrals to the juvenile justice system. And schools pressured to raise graduation and testing numbers can sometimes artificially achieve this by pushing out low-performing students into GED programs and the juvenile justice system. Indirectly, schools push students towards the criminal justice system by excluding them from the learning environment and isolating them from their peer groups through suspension, expulsion, ineffective retention policies, transfers, and high-stakes testing requirements. THE RISE OF THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE DID NOT CORRESPOND WITH AN INCREASE IN SCHOOL VIOLENCE. Crimes against and by youth were actually declining before zero tolerance policies took hold.1 Zero Tolerance policies directly and indirectly feed the Pipeline Schools rely on suspension, expulsion, citations, summonses, and arrests to handle disciplinary problems like bringing cell phones and ipods to school, smoking cigarettes, and skipping class.
