Donald Trump has requested to put ID's on Muslims. This isn't right. I am a Muslim, but I am also a good person. Trump stated to Yahoo News, "Social media wants to accuse Trump of wanting to mimic laws that the Nazis had imposed on Jews, including requiring them to wear a gold star of David on their clothes." I don't think that it is right to make us Muslims wear tags or carry and ID wherever we go. We are people just like everyone else, but the way this election has portrayed us is as terrorists and very bad people. That isn't the case not all muslims are bad, but that is why they always say.

Chicago's West and South side are in danger of gun violence increasing.  This is why Chicago wants to send the National Guard to stop this. I believe that sending the National Guards isn't a very good solution. It will most likely cause a larger riot and bigger problems. People will most likely not like this and will cause more violence to debate against this. Rahm Emmanuel has decided to call the National Guard for help, thinking this is a solution when it really isn't. People are saying that the National Guard will protect their children from any further violence. But it won't, it will only cause a bigger problem in the West and South side. Using violence to stop violence isn't a solution, it is Chicago digging a deeper hole than they are already in. 

The last longest flight standing was from Dallas-Fort and Sydney. That flight was just less than 17 hours. Now the new longest flight non-stop is from Emirates, it is a Dubai based airline that will be traveling from Dubai to Panama City. This took place February 1st, 2016. The distance was approximately 13,800 kilometers, it took 17 hours and 35 min heading westbound direction. This flight will be carrying 256 passengers. This is a flight that will be happening daily. They depart at 8:05 am and will arrive at 4 pm. This shows the world is always developing new technologies. It is proven that in the future there will always be new advancements and developments.

The CTU (Chicago Teacher Union) supports the teachers and wants a brand new contract. But the government and the CTU can not agree on their budget.  The teachers want  CPS to be able to pay them. Over the last two years their salary has gone down. It would be fair for it to go up instead. On Tuesday, CPS announced some painful pension deductions for teachers and $100 million in new budget cuts, which could include layoffs. They are saying that approximately 1,000 teachers are to be laid off. I do not believe this is fair, the teacher deserve a better pay and a job. From a teachers perspective, they believe that Rahm Emmanuel should not be controlling the schools pays and budgets. They also believe that the State should just give the city money to fund for the school. This is why Rahm Emmanuel should not be in charge and why things were better from before.
