On 16 October 1901, shortly after moving into the White House, Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington, President of the Tuskegee Institute, to dine with him and his family, and provoked an outpouring of condemnation from southern politicians and press. This reaction affected subsequent White House practice, and no other African American was invited to dinner for almost thirty years. That dinner and subsequent racial issues affecting Roosevelt during his presidency are recorded in Edmund Morris, Theodore Rex.

The media article discusses how the Chinese government has reintroduced
aspects of traditional Chinese religion into society in an attempt to regain its moral
authority following what was described as moral decline.In contrast, does embracing some notion of religious freedom by a government
make society more moral? Is China privileging certain religions over others, and if so, is
this discriminatory? What does the Chinese governments interaction with religion say
about the distinctions between an atheist state, a religious state, and a secular state? Be
sure to engage with the views of those who might disagree with you

You are currently a college counselor at a public school in New York City and have a great deal of pressure from your principal (your supervisor) to ensure all students attend four-year colleges. The principal has noted that your school tends to look better when students enroll in prestigious schools, which canin turnincrease funding for the school and attract higher performing students in the future.Carlos recently emigrated from Mexico with his mother, father, and twoyounger sisters. Since joining your school about two years ago, you have grown fond of Carlos and recognize his potential for success at a four-year college. Now that Carlos is a senior, you are keeping an eye out for scholarships for him to attend four-year elite private schools and live in the dorms. Carlos has expressed ambivalence about leaving home and whether college is the right path for him at this point in his life. He shared that he had spoken withhis parents about entering college and when he showed them the brochures from four-year private colleges, they were concerned about the finances. You have had little contact with his parents, which Carlos attributes to their work schedule and language barrier. You feel determined that an intelligent student like Carlos should be attending a four-year institutionand finances should not be a deterrent, because he will receive scholarships and financial aid. You believe his parents may not recognize their sons potentialand may not know that the college sticker price would not be what they arerequired to pay. Carlos brought you a brochure for a community college, where he could be a part-time student, work on the side to help support his family,and pick up his sisters after school. During supervision, you tell your principal about the situation and he offered for the school to pay the application fees for Carlos to give some help to the family. A few days later, Carlos stated his parents were able to come in for a meeting after school to discuss how to find jobs for Carlos after graduation. You are now caught between your professional opinion thatCarlos shouldattend a four-year college, Carloss desire for a part-time community college, and his parents desire for him to obtain a job. Ethically, you are struggling how to counsel the family.Here are some questions to think about:
1) What should you do to prepare for your meeting with Carloss parents?
2) What will you say to his parents?
3) How do you anticipate his parents will respond to you?
4) What multicultural factors may be influencing you, Carlos, his parents, and your principal?
