Midwood Diversity
Based on the New York Times article, "Laws Decried as LBGT Discrimination Proposed Across Country" many states across America are deciding to protect those who decline the approval of certain people. Such groups of these people included the LGBT community. In addition to the growing tension in the legislative, the states that oppose this law are receiving a huge backlash in protest. An example I viewed from the article include Alabama's Lawmakers. The makers are pushing to prevent the state from refusing license childcare service that conflict with their religious belief. Another state that supports the LGBY community is Louisiana. Governor John Bel Edwards signed an executive order which gave protection to workers who are being discriminated based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. I find this disappointing that some laws would oppose people based on their gender identity. Why does this even become a question, shouldn't even be mentioned.

Woman on the Back of a $10 bill
Mohammad Khalid
How would you feel if a woman was on the back of your ten dollar bill?
The Treasury Secretary will announce on Wednesday the redesigned 10 dollar bill. It may or may not have a woman on the back of it. If it does, it will have a great reputation of the Obama Administration.
In my opinion, there should be a woman on the back of the 20 dollar bill because there were famous women that left their mark on this nation. For example, Rosa Parks, Abigail Adams, Harriet Tubman and Susan B. Anthony.
Women left their mark on the United States. Women were patriotic,brave and called for change. Harriet Tubman created the Underground Railroad and risked her life so enslaved African Americans can move up North and escape slavery.
Susan B Anthony called for women rights. She wanted women to get the right to vote.
What is your opinion? Who should be on the 10 dollar bill?

Abducted Nigerian Girls Remembered
By Franchesca Gumabon
Two years ago, terrorist group Boko Haram, kidnapped female students in Nigeria. American and African troops were sent to Cameroon to fight the soldiers but were put on hold in fear of risking more lives. Now, the 276 missing girls have been located. They're located in the Sambisa Forest. The girl's were abducted while at the Government Girls Secondary School of Nigeria.Many of the girls that are captured by Boko Haram are either forced into unwanted marriages, sexual assault, or sometimes death. Now, U.S. officials are claiming that the girls have not been forgotten and are working on getting them safely home. Hopefully the girls are all retrieved safely. This has been an ongoing struggle but hopefully it doesn't have to last any longer.

Golden State Warriors' Record Breaking Game
By: Jade Stephen
Wednesday night, the Golden State Warriors broke the Chicago Bulls' record of 72 games in the NBA by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game before the playoffs. The new record now is 73 wins and 9 losses. The Chicago Bulls had a record of 72 wins and 10 losses in the 1995-96 season of the NBA with Michael Jordan but that all came to an end on Wednesday due to the team's motivation and amazing basketball skills. Though they had nine losses it's still good for a team that was believed to fail. Now they're on their way to playoffs by being the first in the western conference.
