Is MLB starter Curt Schilling receiving enough punishment for his tweet?

MLB starter Curt Schilling tweeted a graphic that read “It’s said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?” In response to Schilling’s tweet, ESPN removed Schilling from ESPN’s Little League World Series coverage on Tuesday. Schilling will also not be in the booth for the “Sunday Night Baseball” game this week. Schilling has since then apologized for his tweet. Do you think this this is reasonable as a punishment for Schilling’s tweet?

Should CEOs have to make their salaries public?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) has made it mandatory for most public companies to reveal the ratio of their CEO’s salary to that of the average employee. Some of the salary gaps are staggering. Supporters like that this rule will contribute insight into the income inequality debate and force companies to compare their ratios with that of their competitors. Opponents point out that the rule is misleading in its intentions and will shame CEOs about how much they make.

So, do you approve of the S.E.C.’s ruling?

Should prisoners have access federal grants for college tuition?

President Obama has announced the next step in his plan for criminal justice reform: giving inmates access to federal Pell grants. Pell grants are federal money provided for low-income students to pay their college tuition and do not need to be repaid. Congress banned prisoners from having access to Pell grants in 1994 and the Obama administration cannot lift the ban without approval from Congress, so the Education Department is running a temporary program to test out the effectiveness of correctional education programs for prisoners. The administration believes such a program will provide prisoners with the skills needed to reenter the community and help them “avoid future contact with the justice system and become productive members of society.”

Would Amy and Chuck Schumer’s plan for tighter gun control decrease mass shootings?

Amy Schumer has teamed up with her cousin, Senator Chuck Schumer, to call for tighter gun control. The actor has been vocal about her support of greater gun control in the wake of the shooting of two women at the screening of her own movie, Trainwreck. The shooter, John Houser, had a history of mental illness yet legally obtained his gun. The Schumers are calling for a three-part plan that will make it more difficult for violent criminals and mentally ill people to acquire firearms. The proposed legislation has a reward and punishment system. States that submit all required records into the background check system receive a monetary reward and states that fail to comply are punished. Sen. Schumer also asks Congress to continue funding for mental health and drug abuse programs. They believe that this plan will decrease mass shootings. Do you agree?

Gisele Bundchen donned a burqa to evade the paparazzi. Offensive to Muslims or a reasonable attempt at privacy?

Model Gisele Bundchen put on a burqa to conceal her identity during her trip to the plastic surgeon in Paris. Hoping to evade the paparazzi, Bundchen was nontheless discovered by the photographers who noticed her longtime chaffeur. Bundchen and her sister were both dressed in burqas, but quite evidently did not research enough about Muslim culture as their feet were visible in their open-toed sandals - shoes that strict Muslim women are prohibited to wear. Do you think that Bundchen’s actions are offensive to Muslims or a reasonable attempt at privacy?
