Comunicação Política, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
A sociedade de hipercomunicação e de espetáculo têm regras novas, que ainda não terão sido completamente assimiladas. Neste artigo se reflete quase aforisticamente sobre os problemas do diálogo em relação com a educação dos participantes, as bases de comunhão em que qualquer discussão tem de basear-se, o discurso do poder para o povo e do povo para o poder, as figuras deste, a perceção e a caricatura da realidade com aquele fim, e finalmente o papel comunicativo do representante.
Bullying Victimization As A Disability In Public Elementary And Secondary Education, 2012 University of Missouri School of Law
Bullying Victimization As A Disability In Public Elementary And Secondary Education, Douglas E. Abrams
Faculty Publications
This article discusses two reasons why likening bullying victimization to an educational disability makes sense. First, face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying impose on student victims the sort of educational deprivation that the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) addresses in the disabilities arena. Second, today’s belated public sensitivity to school bullying victims resembles the belated public sensitivity to students with disabilities that led to passage of the IDEA in 1975.

As this symposium commences, originalism is a hot topic to discuss and a cool position to advocate. Either portion of that statement would have been nearly inconceivable two decades ago when I started in academia. Originalism at that time was something of an intellectual backwater, with a very limited set of adherents and an even more limited set of critics who were willing to take originalist ideas seriously.1
How Not To Criminalize Cyberbullying, 2012 University of Florida Levin College of Law
How Not To Criminalize Cyberbullying, Lyrissa Barnett Lidsky, Andrea Garcia
UF Law Faculty Publications
This essay provides a sustained constitutional critique of the growing body of laws criminalizing cyberbullying. These laws typically proceed by either modernizing existing harassment and stalking laws or crafting new criminal offenses. Both paths are beset with First Amendment perils, which this essay illustrates through 'case studies' of selected legislative efforts. Though sympathetic to the aims of these new laws, this essay contends that reflexive criminalization in response to tragic cyberbullying incidents has led law-makers to conflate cyberbullying as a social problem with cyberbullying as a criminal problem, creating pernicious consequences. The legislative zeal to eradicate cyberbullying potentially produces disproportionate …

Funcionários Públicos E Preconceitos Privados, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Açoitado pela crise, o País está crispado, e aponta o dedo a bodes expiatórios. Os verdadeiros culpados pela crise são porém fáceis de encontrar - e nalguns países encontraram-nos, julgaram-nos e condenaram-nos. Mas é interessante como aqui se desviam as atenções para grupos tradicionalmente estigmatizados pelas culpas alheias. Um dos alvos preferidos são os funcionários públicos.

Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Há manobras de diversão no problema do Direito à Língua, nos países lusófonos. Não é o Acordo ortográfico que nos deita os parentes na lama (muita da argumentação contra ele parece ser xenófoba, preconceituosa, etc.). O que realmente nos prejudica a língua e a cabeça lusófona é a capitulação provinciana de muitos de nós e das nossas instituições ao falar e ao pensar da globalização. Porque a Língua é a casa do ser, se falarmos (e pensarmos) muito numa língua alheia, a nossa cabeça começa a moldar-se à cosmovisão desse idioma. Sem prejuízo, é claro, da necessidade de conhecer o …
Law And Policy Entrepreneurs: Empirical Evidence On The Expansion Of School Choice Policy, 2012 Cornell Law School
Law And Policy Entrepreneurs: Empirical Evidence On The Expansion Of School Choice Policy, Michael Heise
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This study leverages event history analysis to help explain the expansion of public charter school legislation between 1991–2006. This study expands previous work in two important ways. First, while critical distinctions separate public charter school and school voucher programs, both fall comfortably within the broader rubric of “school choice.” As such, it is difficult to understand the development of state legislation for one school choice variant independent of the other. Thus, this analysis includes the presence of publicly- or privately-funded voucher programs in a state as a possible factor influencing the adoption of charter school legislation in a state. Second, …
The Inheritance Of Inequality: Hukou<.I> And Related Barriers To Compulsory Education For China's Migrant Children, 2012 University of Washington School of Law
The Inheritance Of Inequality: Hukou<.I> And Related Barriers To Compulsory Education For China's Migrant Children, Jessica L. Montgomery
Washington International Law Journal
The hukou system in China uses residency permits to divide Chinese citizens into urban and rural dwellers. A person’s hukou status determines his or her access to state services. Under normal circumstances, a person with a rural hukou status is not eligible for state services in urban areas, and vice versa. Because hukou is primarily inherited from one’s parents at the time of birth, children born in urban areas to parents with rural hukou are similarly designated as rural hukou holders. As a result, children living in cities with rural hukou are ineligible for enrollment in urban public schools even …
The Parental Choice Fallacy In Education Reform Debates, 2012 William & Mary Law School
The Parental Choice Fallacy In Education Reform Debates, James G. Dwyer
Faculty Publications
Some tout parental school choice as a strategy for promoting, among other school-related goods, educational innovation. This Article offers clarifying and skeptical thoughts about that position. It first explains what “educational innovation” and “parental choice” mean. It then considers what limitations on this strategy might arise from existing legal regulations, from market forces, or from ethical obligations to children. Finally, the Article explains why parental choice is also unlikely to improve education for the children most in need of a better academic environment and suggests an alternative approach to student reassignment that is much more likely to do so.

A Crise Económico-Financeira Europeia: Preconceitos E Realidades, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Uma cortina de fumo pseudo-científica obnubila a realidade de um ataque brutal aos países periféricos da Europa, mais especificamente aos da grande civilização mediterrânica: grecos e latinos. Como é possível que quem tanto legou à Europa e ao Mundo seja agora estigmatizado como preguiçoso e caloteiro? Há uma guerra económica coberta por uma guerra ideológica. E nesta última os próprios visados (e alguns que deles deveriam ser solidários) deixam-se lamentavelmente convencer e autoflagelam-se como culpados. Há culpados, mas não são Povos que sempre viveram com dificuldades...

Guide To Incorporation Of Not For Profit Organisations In Nigeria, 2012 Faculty of Law, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Nigeria
Guide To Incorporation Of Not For Profit Organisations In Nigeria, Taiwo Adebola Odumosu Mr.
Taiwo Adebola Odumosu Mr.
The incorporation of non-profit bodies in Nigeria is governed by the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2004 (‘the Act’). The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is vested with responsibility for non-profit organisations. The CAC has branches in most State capitals of the Federation and its headquarters is based in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. Before applying to the CAC for incorporation of a non-profit body, one must check that the name of the new entity is not already in use. This can be done by purchasing an Availability Form, which costs very little. In Nigeria only legal practitioners, and to some …

Traditional And Charter School Funding In Arkansas, 2012 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
Traditional And Charter School Funding In Arkansas, Reed Greenwood, Gary W. Ritter
Policy Briefs
Charter schools, once considered an anomaly, are becoming increasingly common in the U.S. There are concerns among some education stakeholders that charter schools pull funding away from traditional public schools, since a large portion of education funds follow the student to the charter school. Conversely, some argue that there are funding inequities that favor public schools. These individuals claim that since charter schools are public schools, the funds allocated to them should be the equivalent of that received by the traditional public schools. This brief examines funding of traditional and charter schools in Arkansas
Examining Pre Service Teacher Knowledge Of Student Rights And Tort Liability, 2012 University of Connecticut - Storrs
Examining Pre Service Teacher Knowledge Of Student Rights And Tort Liability, Alexi Wiemer
Honors Scholar Theses
This study explored how knowledgeable pre service teachers in the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut were in the field of student rights and tort liability. This field has grown in importance due to a recent increase in student lawsuits and the expectations that teachers know these laws when they become certified. A total of 183 students were given a survey in their education classes with 27 statements of famous misconceptions about student rights and tort liability. Students were asked to determine if these statements were true or false and how confident they were in their answer. …
