Extractions: The principle of equality before the law is especially important for groups that are in the minority, such as indigenous people, or groups that have less political or other power, such as the poor. This also means that judges, government officials and police are also answerable to the same body of law. Ask students to write a speech about equality before the law. Students can pretend they are in a situation where the principle of equality before the law is not acknowledged or adhered to and their responsibility is to convince people and politicians of the importance of this principle by writing a passionate and well-argued speech. Have students read out their speeches.

Unfinished Business: Racial Justice and Economic Inequailty Troubling symptoms of the persistence of racism and economic inequality have pushed the issue of racial equality back to the top of the public agenda. Should additional public actions be taken to close the racial gap? If so, what should be done? Choice #1 Civil Rights Strategy: Prohibiting Discrimination, Enforcing the Laws Our public commitment is to uphold the principle of equality under the law, for people of all races. The government's obligation is to make sure the rules of the game are the same for everyone. But equality of opportunity does not necessarily lead to equal results. Choice #2 Affirmative Action Strategy: Taking Race into Consideration Equal opportunity is not enough. Government must take measures to ensure equal results, even if affirmative action benefits minority groups at the expense of others. Racial equality can be achieved only by allowing preferences for groups that have suffered from discrimination.

Past Features "From the beginning, the status of blacks in the U.S. has been determined by the individual states. Federalism and the race question are two sides of the same coin. Federalism has bred a certain form of racism; but at the same time, racial discrimination encountered by American blacks cannot be eliminated except in accordance with the principles of federalism. This surprising paradox arises from the fact that, at the same time that it requires consideration of difference and "otherness," federalism also requires rethinking the very idea of equality. With affirmative action, a new principle of equality has taken shape in America. Before condemning it wholesale in the name of a set understanding of equality before the law, one ought first to understand it thoroughly, especially in the face of rising racism in Europe and the prevalence of racial discrimination in France today."from Lauren Robel and Elisabeth Zoller are co-authors of , a new book analyzing affirmative action in the context of American legal and political structures for a French readership.

http://www.adversity.net/philosophy.htm

Extractions: Make a tax-deductible contribution to Adversity.Net Giving special treatment or preference to any individual or group because of their demographics (race, gender, ethnicity) automatically results in illegal and unconstitutional discrimination against the individual or group who is excluded from such special treatment. We oppose all forms of preferential treatment and all forms of discrimination including so-called reverse discrimination. Laws, programs, policies, and regulations which dictate that individuals or groups with certain demographic characteristics receive preferential treatment are unconstitutional and should not be tolerated by American voters. There is no possible justification legally, constitutionally, ethically, or philosophically for such discrimination, regardless of the stated purpose. More discrimination does not remedy past discrimination.

Human Rights Remember that the best resource is still your local library! The Internet, CD-ROM's and so on, are serviceable enough devices, but you are likely to find that the books, journals and reports in the Library contain much more that is useful and reliable. It is a good idea to use information technology resources to find references to materials - and then go and read them in the Library For hints on using the Internet, try out the Internet Detective Tutorial! . Always check to see who is providing a web resource, and consider whether it is a reliable provider. Keeping in touch with legal news is important and difficult. Short of subscribing to a law review or law journal, check out the JURIST legal awareness pages. There are also sites which report news from different courts from around the world ( LII Eye on the Courts ). Some will even email you summaries of the decisions. To avoid being swamped with information, you should decide which sites most interest you, and get into the habit of reading them regularly (e.g. the

Extractions: The Irish Prison Service is today releasing two reports on the nature and extent of Intercultural Awareness, Communication and Racial Equality in Irish Prisons. They are available now to be downloaded from the Prison Service website, www.Irishprisons.ie and will be published in printed format next week. These reports were commissioned from two independent service providers, namely NTDI (The National Training and Development Institute) and Fitzpatrick Associates. NTDI was the lead contractor delivering an action research and training project involving both prisoners and prison officers at Wheatfield Prison, Dublin. Fitzpatrick Associates provided an independent evaluation of the project and recommendations for future action. Seán Aylward, Director General of the Prison Service welcomed the two new publications. He complimented the two independent contractors involved, NTDI and Fitzpatrick's Associates on their work and thanked prison staff and prisoners who co-operated with the project. Mr Aylward acknowledged that minority groups in prison have always required special care and attention to protect them from harassment and discrimination. Recent demographic developments in Ireland have created a new ethnic diversity not just in the broader population but also in the prisons where several hundred people of non-Irish backgrounds are now committed every year.
