Teaching Values, Teaching Stereotypes: Sex Ed And Indoctrination In Public Schools, Jennifer S. Hendricks
Teaching Values, Teaching Stereotypes: Sex Ed And Indoctrination In Public Schools, Jennifer S. Hendricks
Jennifer S. Hendricks
Many sex education curricula currently used in public schools indoctrinate students in gender stereotypes. As expressed in the title of one article: “If You Don’t Aim to Please, Don’t Dress to Tease,” and Other Public School Sex Education Lessons Subsidized by You, the Federal Taxpayer (Jennifer L. Greenblatt, 14 TEX. J. ON C.L. & C.R. 1 (2008)). Other lessons pertain not only to responsibility for sexual activity but to lifelong approaches to family life and individual achievement. One lesson, for example, instructs students that, in marriage, men need sex from their wives and women need financial support from their husbands. …
Once Upon A Time In Law: Myth, Metaphor, And Authority, Linda H. Edwards
Once Upon A Time In Law: Myth, Metaphor, And Authority, Linda H. Edwards
Linda H. Edwards
We have long accepted the role of narrative in fact statements and jury arguments, but in the inner sanctum of analyzing legal authority? Surely not. Yet cases, statutes, rules, and doctrines have stories too. When we talk about legal authority, using all our best formal logic and its bedfellows of analogy and policy, we are actually swimming in a sea of narrative, oblivious to the water around us. As the old Buddhist saying goes, we don’t know who discovered the ocean, but it probably wasn’t a fish.

Sex, Threats, And Absent Victims: The Lessons Of Regina V. Bedingfield For Modern Confrontation And Domestic Violence Cases, Aviva A. Orenstein
Sex, Threats, And Absent Victims: The Lessons Of Regina V. Bedingfield For Modern Confrontation And Domestic Violence Cases, Aviva A. Orenstein
Aviva A. Orenstein
In 2004, Crawford v. Washington, authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, revolutionized the law of confrontation by requiring that, aside from two discrete exceptions, all testimonial statements (those made with the expectation that they will serve to prosecute the accused) be subject to cross-examination. This new interpretation of the Sixth Amendment confrontation clause has profoundly affected domestic violence cases, making it much harder to prosecute them successfully.
Although Justice Scalia’s approach to confrontation is new, it is strikingly similar to the analysis in Regina v. Bedingfield, a notorious English murder case, which excluded from the evidence an alleged statement by the …
Strategies Of Containment: Status Regimes And The American Constitution, Bruce E. Boyden
Strategies Of Containment: Status Regimes And The American Constitution, Bruce E. Boyden
Bruce E. Boyden
The American constitution was born flawed: it failed to provide a mechanism for resolving entrenched differences in the social status regimes between states. This Article argues that part of the purpose of the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was to correct that flaw. The Privileges or Immunities Clause was the culmination of a long antebellum debate over whether southern states had to respect the rights of northern black citizens as they travelled. The Clause achieves this goal by requiring states in certain circumstances to respect the status determinations of other states when the citizens of those other …

Father-Absence, Social Equality, And Social Progress, Helen M. Alvare
helen m alvare
Abstract: Father-Absence, Social Equality and Social Progress
The future of the male half of the U.S. population is less certain than it once was. News outlets now regularly report that women outnumber men in college, and might soon outnumber them in the workforce. These reports rightly grab attention. Men’s growing absence from the lives of their own biological children, however, is too little explored. The 2007 Census update reported that of the nineteen million children living in lone-parent households, sixteen and one-half million lived with their mothers alone. Fewer than 30 percent of these fathers have even weekly contact with …
Sexual Abuse Of Power, Michal Buchhandler-Raphael
Sexual Abuse Of Power, Michal Buchhandler-Raphael
michal buchhandler-raphael
This Article argues that sexual abuses of power stemming from professional and institutional relationships justify criminalization. At a normative-theoretical level, the Article contends that coerced submission to unwanted sexual acts in professional and institutional settings demonstrates not only unwanted and harmful sexual conduct but also nonconsensual sex. The Article suggests that the current understanding of consent to sexual relations is flawed, because rape law’s contemporary consent standard focuses on an objective permission-giving act, which fails to recognize that even an explicit verbal authorization sometimes constitutes merely apparent consent. This reality calls for adopting a modified definition for consent to sexual …

Sexting: Application Of Criminal Law To Punish Poor Choices, Kevin Ramakrishna
Sexting: Application Of Criminal Law To Punish Poor Choices, Kevin Ramakrishna
Kevin Ramakrishna
Sexting has become the latest form of sexual discovery for American school children, and a major source of frustration for school administrators and law enforcement. Recently, the effects of sexting have led to the death of at least one high school student prompting law enforcement and schools to distribute the harshest punishments possible. When the problem first arose there were no laws to combat sexting. In order to punish those who engaged in sexting, law enforcement used sex offender and child pornography laws. As a result, teenagers have been placed on sex offender registries and must carry the burden of …

On Same-Sex Marriage And Matters Of Conscience, Mark Strasser
On Same-Sex Marriage And Matters Of Conscience, Mark Strasser
Mark Strasser
In our increasingly diverse society, it is ever-more important to teach tolerance of and respect for those having differing sexual orientations and religious beliefs. It thus might seem an ideal solution to include conscience clauses in legislation affording same-sex couples the right to marry, whereby individuals with religious qualms about being in any way associated with such marriages may be legally excused from doing so. Yet, by creating one exception specifically for same-sex marriages rather than a more generalized exception for those with religious qualms about facilitating or being associated with marriages contrary to belief, the state may be undermining …

Harvey Milk, Jane Roe, And James Brady: Why Civic Organizing Matters, Palma Joy Strand
Harvey Milk, Jane Roe, And James Brady: Why Civic Organizing Matters, Palma Joy Strand
palma joy strand
This Article presents a view of the civic underpinnings of law by examining how civic interaction or the lack of such interaction facilitates or inhibits sociolegal change. The Article begins with empirical observations of civic experience and engagement, which ground more general conclusions about the importance of civic relationships and civic networks as well as the way personal stories contribute to the creation of both. The Article then applies these conclusions to three currently contentious and unsettled issues: gay rights, abortion, and guns. As to gay rights, the “coming out” process identified with Harvey Milk has transformed the civic landscape, …
Sex Is Not Enough: How Schroer Teaches Us That Transgender Employees Need Explicit Protection From Discrimination, Heron Greenesmith
Sex Is Not Enough: How Schroer Teaches Us That Transgender Employees Need Explicit Protection From Discrimination, Heron Greenesmith
Heron Greenesmith
In Schroer v. Billington, Judge Robertson of the DC District Court held that transgender employees are protected from discrimination by Title VII's prohibition on discrimination "because of . . . sex." While the decision was a ground breaking one, this article argues that it is not enough to truly protect transgender employees from discrimination. The article advocates that to provide true protection, Congress should pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which provides explicit protection for employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity
Taxing Civil Rights Gains, Anthony C. Infanti
Taxing Civil Rights Gains, Anthony C. Infanti
Anthony C. Infanti
In this article, I take a novel approach to the question of what constitutes a “tax.” I argue that the unique burdens imposed on same-sex couples by the federal and state “defense of marriage” acts (the DOMAs) constitute a tax on lesbian and gay families.
Classifying the DOMAs as a “tax” has important substantive and rhetorical consequences. As a tax, the DOMAs are subject to the same constitutional restrictions as other taxes. This opens them to challenge under the federal constitution’s direct tax clauses and the uniformity clauses present in many state constitutions. Where such constitutional challenges are unavailable or …
