GCHS students going to state for history writing contest Daniel Ratley and Kaili Logsdon recently competed at the regional competition of National History Day and will advance to the state competition.National History Day is a nonprofit organization that encourages students to delve deeper into historical studies and offers competitions in several medias around a theme. This year’s theme is “Rights and Responsibilities.” Both students competed in the Senior Paper division. Summaries of their work are below. Daniel Ratley: The title of my paper is: The Legacy of San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez: Education Rights, Responsibilities, Resources, and Remedies. The paper discusses the landmark Supreme Court case San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (1973). The Court ruled that education is not a fundamental right under the United States Constitution and placed the responsibility of funding on state governments. This ruling allows disparities in wealthy and poor districts to persist. This paper also discusses two Kentucky court cases. Rose v. Council for Better Education (1989), a case that led to significant school finance reforms through the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). The current case of Kentucky Student Voice Team v. Commonwealth of Kentucky highlights the ongoing debate over education funding, policy, and the government's responsibility to ensure equitable access to educational resources. Kaili Logsdon: Title: Silent Shadows:The Overlooked Women of the Gilded Age Summary: The paper "Silent Shadows:The Overlooked Women of the Gilded Age" discusses the experiences of women during the Gilded Age, focusing on their roles in the home, workforce, and social movements. It also examines the importance of figures who shaped women's rights and social reform during this period of time. The struggles and contributions of women during this period laid the groundwork for the feminist movements of the early 20th century.
