Which is the bigger discriminatory fail?

It has been reported that female aides are often banned from holding one-to-one meetings with their male bosses as well as other activities that might suggest the wrong relationship between the two.

Should governments have the responsibility to take in refugees?

They have been turned away from Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia and have nowhere else to go. When contacted by The Associated Press, Malaysian Deputy Home Minister Wan Junaidi Jafaar said, “We have to send the right message that they are not welcome here… No one wants them.” Do you think that governments should have the responsibility to take in refugees?
Is Jeb Bush being truthful in his comments about Iraq?
For the past four days, possible Republican candidate for the 2016 presidential election Jeb Bush, has been giving varying answers about whether he would have authorized the invasion into Iraq in 2003. See below for more info and the videos.
Do you think that Jeb has purposely been vague about whether or not he would have authorized the invasion? Or do you think that he is being truthful? Let us know!
When first asked if he would have authorized the invasion “knowing what we know now,” he replied that he “would’ve, and so would’ve Hillary Clinton, and so would everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got” (Fox News Interview).
The next day, he addressed what he said by saying that he misinterpreted the question to mean whether he would have made the invasion, given what people knew then rather than know now. When re-asked the question by Sean Hannity on The Sean Hannity show, Bush replied, "I don't know what the decision would have been, that's a hypothetical, but the simple fact is that mistakes were made, as they always are in life."
When asked once again about his statement, Bush responded, "If we're going into hypotheticals, I think it does a disservice for a lot of people that sacrificed a lot...What we ought to be focusing on is what are the lessons learned."
As a conclusion of these four days of comments on Iraq, Jeb Bush has said that he would not have gone into Iraq.
Do you think that Jeb Bush has purposely been vague about whether or not he would have authorized the invasion? Or do you think that he is being truthful? Let us know!

Is it okay for art classes to ask students to use nudity as self expression?
A performance art class University of California, San Diego, has recently been under the eye of scrutiny after one of the student’s mothers reported the professor, Ricardo Dominguez, of being a pervert. As a final assignment, the professor asks students to shed their clothes as a symbolism of emotional nakedness. According to students, the assignment is made known at the beginning of the course and alternate assignments are offered. Apparently, the alternate assignments are seldom needed, as student Lisa Korpos is quoted to say that “every single student came out of that class with a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and care for their fellow classmates” Do you think that such an assignment should be allowed?
