Let's Get to Discussing!!
For this week's discussion board, I want to reflect on the previous pages in this module.  
In this discussion board, I want to you to show an understanding of the material covered in the previous pages.  Please use the terminology or ideas presented in the previous pages.  Failure to do so, will result in a low discussion board grade.  
INSTRUCTIONS: 
This discussion board will focus on some of the possible aspects of the "new" Jim Crow idea.  Please respond to all of the following prompts: 
1.) One of the pages of this module examined the issue of voting in today's society.  In that page was a video about possible examples of voter suppression (meaning, tactics that might serve to keep certain groups of people from voting).  Typically, when people are incarcerated for a felony, they lose their right to vote (remember, individuals convicted of a felony CAN vote once their sentence is complete and are no longer on parole).  Do you believe it is fair/just to take away people's voting rights while they are incarcerated for a felony?  AND do you think that the topics I discussed in my video are examples of voter suppression or voter integrity?  
2.) Although segregation by law ended in the 1960s, some would argue that segregation basically still exists.  Do you believe that we still live in a segregated society AND do you believe you have ever gone (or are going) to a "segregated" school?  Even if you were not born in the US or have not gone to school previously in the US, would you label the schools you went to in your country of origin as "segregated?"  Explain your response and even if the answer is "no," please explain why.      
Your FIRST post should be a minimum of 200 words.  Your SECOND and THIRD posts, where you respond to your peers' posts, each should be a minimum of 100 words.
