Before then, gender reassignment surgery had never been performed on a child who had normal genitalia. The Reimers agreed and Bruce’s testicles were removed and he started 12 years of social and hormonal treatment to become a girl named "Brenda." Colapinto’s book As Nature Made Him claimed that Professor Money included in a report the statement “The child's behaviour is so clearly that of an active little girl and so different from the boyish ways of her twin brother,”(2000). In his book, Colapinto also claimed because of Money’s research feminists declared human beings to be "psychosexually neutral" at birth and campaigned to change everything from children’s stories to the curricula of schools in order to change the gender identity being taught to children. Money’s research supported their
Student1: Public schools may not sponsor, supervise, conduct, or encourage any Student to lead, conduct or recite bible readings, religious Invocations or other religious ceremonies in any school activity. Student2: A student's parent whose name was Jaffree sued alleging that this law violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment because it forced students to pray and basically exposed them to religious indoctrination Student1: Jaffree decided to file this suit after his three children reported that their teachers had led prayers in school. Student2: Jaffree claimed that the 1981 and 1982 Alabama statutes on prayer in public schools violated the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Student1: According to the Court, this was a clear violation of the 1st Amendment's establishment clause Student2: The majority of people believed that the law is in violation of the First Amendment and must be overturned. Teacher: Who was Wallace? Student1: Wallace was the governor of Alabama at that time Student2: As the case was going on, Jaffree's children were excluded and ridiculed by classmates because of their father's opposition to school prayer.
The Board of Education meant for the prayer to be non offensive and non denominational but the prayer began to receive negative attention. Parents of some of the students filed legal action and lost in lower court and continued on to file an appeal to the Supreme Court. The legal question that the Supreme Court faced was; does the use of this prayer violate the establishment clause of the 1st amendment which was made applicable to the states by the 14th amendment? The Supreme Court upheld that yes; the prayer does violate the establishment clause of the 1st amendment. The Court defended its decision with a lengthy history of the importance of separation between church and state.
Background Information The Court cited the Tinker case and ruled that there was no evidence that reasonably showed substantial disruption or material interference with school activities if students were allowed unfettered access to the books. Schools may not restrict access to the books based on the ideas expressed, whether religious or secular. The Court wrote that even a minimal loss of First Amendment rights is injurious. Requiring parental permission for certain books can cause a “stigmatization” of children who choose to read the books (seen as “bad books”). The Harry Potter books were returned to unrestricted shelves in school library.

In the state of Pennsylvania an adolescent has the right to health care, particularly health care concerning pregnancy, confidentiality, (ACLU, 2009). This means that according to the law in Pennsylvania a therapist would not be required to discuss a pregnancy of a minor with a parent or guardian. This could pose ethical issues depending on how the teen is handling the pregnancy and the safety of the minor. The scenario posed in this paper is of a teen in therapy that find out she is pregnant and thinking of getting an abortion. She confides in the therapist that she is pregnant and is trying to find a place for an abortion where she will not need to tell her parents that she had an abortion or that she is pregnant.

A dentist screens the students who have parent permission and teams of dental hygienists and dental assistants place the sealants with portable dental equipment at the schools.
