For those of you who use news events to spur oral/written debates, persuasive writing, etc-there are a couple of articles that may be of interest:
A. One article describes how observant Muslim women in Turkey are protesting a law barring them from wearing a headscarf in public schools. This law is keeping female students from completing their education. 
B. Another article describes how  two women filed a complaint with the New York State Attorney General's office because Macy's  (a big department store) staff told them that they could not breastfeed in the store.
Both articles can be found at:

If any of you utilize these articles, we would love to hear about it!
