The Catholic church argues that it is against their first amandment right to be required to provide these contraceptives, because it is agaisnt their religion. Being from a Catholic family, although I am not agaisnt contraceptives, I also do not agree with the new law, because it goes against my religion. If I do my research on this topic, I could research the situation more in depth, and also past ideas for laws that were challenged for the same reasons.

In this article, Peter Berkowitz, of the Wall Street Journal, discusses the acusations of Yale quarterback Patrick Witt, who was accused of sexual assault, which turned out to have broken the school's system of confidentiality, and also ruined the quarterback's reputation and possibly future. In order to prevent this from happening at ye another school, Berkowitz argues that due process of law must be restored on campuses. If i choose to research this tpic farther, I could find other cases in which students have been wrongfully accussed, tarnishing their reputations.

This article, from the Chicago tribune, adresses the drug bust situation at our very own high school, Stevenson. The drug bust is controversial, mainly because students argue that their rights are being ignored by searches of cell phones. The question the article adresses: what are the true rights of students? If i choose to do my reasearch paper on this issue, I could discuss it with relevance to the issues at our own school, and also past court cases.
