The Adolescents' Online Privacy Protection Act deals with the protection of privacy of adolescents from ages between 13 through 17. This bill requires websites the consent of a parent or a legal guardian to acquire any information of the minor. This bills was modeled on the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection 1 Act, which applies only to children under the age of 13 I think bill is important due to the different incidents that have happened previous years. This bills can prevent pedophiles to get information of an adolescent with out the parents knowing about it. It is important for parents to look out for their child's safety as well that way the bill and the enforcement of the parents pays off. As a parent I would feel comfortable knowing that the government is enforcing this type of safeness.
In the New York Times a saw an article that caught my attention even though it was a short one. The article was about Brown University increasing their financial aid for students whose families have low incomes. Brown's Universities main goal is to give students with lower income a chance to have a higher education. The decision on increasing financial aid came after Evy League universities made it possible for students to study. Brown University is planning to increase their tuition as well as their financial aid. In my opinion giving students with lower incomes to attend their schools increases the changes of students taking the opportunities and becoming something in life.
In The New York Times, there was an article that seems interesting since it related to the Democratic Presidential candidates. Hilary Clinton accuses Obama of plagiarism in one of his speeches. Obama denied the charges of plagiarism because the guy he got some of his speech allowed him to use it. In fact Mr. Richard encouraged Obama to use his speech. I think that Obama should have given Mr. Richard credit for using his speech but it was not plagiarism because he was allowed to use the speech. I think Hilary Clinton is trying to get votes different ways and this was one of them.
