Public Law 358, Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act.
This act helped veterans not only pay for school, but also helped with housing. I think this is relevant to the impact on nursing in that it opened the door for those who would not be able to afford school or housing to earn their college degrees, especially those of color or who were previously discriminated against. -
ARPANET
The first "email" was sent on this date. ARPANET was the framework and beginning of the internet we know today. The internet has made the world a much smaller place, with nearly anybody being able to communicate with nearly anybody else no matter the distance. So much information and sharing of cultures can happen due to this project. -
Title IX
Title IX has helped protect those and defends those who may have been discriminated in aspects of pursuing an education. This law protects against discrimination of any kind for those in school. This has helped many get an education and helped spread the ideas of different cultures and allowed those who would have previously been denied an education to interact with those from different back grounds. -
Equal Educational Opportunities Act
This act helped eliminate barriers for students who did not speak English. It mandated that schools had the responsibilities to address the hurdles of non English speakers and provide equal protection. This allowed students of different cultures to assimilate with less difficulty. -
Plyler V. Doe
This court case states that denying undocumented children the access to education is unconstitutional. The case allows many children the right to go to public school with no tuition. This allowed many children the opportunity to become a better part of the community and integrate with and share cultures. -
Emergency Immigration Education Act
The Emergency Immigration Act helped schools with large amounts of immigrant students help with the cost associated with educating them. This allowed students of different back grounds and cultures to receive an education and be more of the community in which they lived. -
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990
This act opened the door to more than 700,000 immigrants per year to the U.S. This act offered visas and residencies to families of skilled and professional work immigrating to the U.S. Thousands of families now had the opportunity to share and absorb the culture of the U.S. -
IASA
This act helped reinforce the 1965 act that allows for federal funding to help with bilingual classes, immigrant education, drop out prevention, and better technology education. This allows more students to learn English and become more accustomed to and help spread their culture throughout American schools. -
Seattle School District
The Supreme Court decided that students can not be assigned schools based on race. This lead to other states abandoning the idea as well. Now, students of different cultures and races were commingling, enforcing the spreading of cultures. -
March for our lives
Hundreds of thousands of students from all racial back grounds and cultures stand together to march on Washington to protest and change gun laws following multiple school shootings. All of these students were from different cultures were brought together from previous acts and programs to be allowed to stand for what they believe in and make a change for future students and teachers.
