The questions "who is the worst murderer in history?" or "Who is the worst criminal of all time?" rarely evoke answers that reference the people in the photograph here.

They are Joseph Stalin (of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), Mao Zedong (of the Peoples' Republic of China), and Adolf Hitler (of Germany under the National Socialist German Workers' Party). 

Future topics review the purpose of the 2nd amendment and guns. Is the 2nd amendment's main purpose self-defense against government and the worst murderers of all time? Who are the worst murderers of all time? Are the worst criminals never charged with their worst crimes? Think about Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and other government officials.  http://lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs38.html

People say that each of the three criminals above created a "police state." What is a police state? Is the USA moving nearer to, or farther from, a police state?
A social critic, commenting on the USA, said "Everyday and everywhere you go: You cannot buy lunch or a soda without government stealing from you (taxes). If you do not pay in cash then your socialist slave number (social security number) informs the government where you went and what you did. You slave number tracks and taxes you for life, including your jobs, income, finances, residences, movements, purchases, activities, et cetera. You are not allowed to travel (even a mile by car) unless you carry identification.  The car you ride in is required to display identification."

A Criminal Profiler is an expert in criminal justice who studies crime and criminals via the use of psychology and forensics.  

What would profilers say about the threesome pictured above?  What beliefs, dogmas, etc, "caused" their crimes?

Dayle Hinman was one of the first people to be trained in forensic profiling under the FBI's legendary John Douglas. Based in Tallahassee at Florida's Department of Law Enforcement, Special Agent Hinman, now retired, is one of a handful of women in the profession. Over the past 26 years, she’s been involved in numerous high-profile investigations including the cases of Ted Bundy; O.J. Simpson; the first female serial killer, Aileen Wournos; The Tamiami Strangler; Miami's prostitute killer Rory Conde, and the Gainesville Student murders.

Hinman's expertise was the topic of a Court TV show called "Body of Evidence."

The textbook covers a case involving mandatory urine testing of students who participate in extra-curricular school sports activities. Should the teachers and judges in the case be given urine tests?  Are urine tests Are such laws characteristic of  a police state?  A Georgia law once required candidates for public office to submit to urine tests, but the law was held to be on constitutional quicksand and was overturned by a Libertarian Party candidate for Governor of Georgia.  Try to find that case on the internet.

College students are often surprised to learn of the role that Chinese students played in aiding Chairman Mao Zedong in persecuting, torturing and murdering millions of people. More information can be found in web searches for "Red Guard Students" and/or "China's cultural revolution."

An opponent of testing once said,  "THE ONLY URINE TEST THEY'LL GET OUT OF ME IS A TASTE TEST."

Is there a reason why students who do not ever use drugs will refuse to take the test?  What will happen to them?  Bode Miller, an Olympic skier, opposes urine testing.  He said that in the procedure the pants are dropped completely to the ankles and the shirt is pulled and held under the chin, while the victim holds a cup and urinates in view of the tormenter(s).  Why is the procedure like that?

What can students do to avoid the testing?  Non-government schools?  Compare laws that used to require the Pledge of Allegiance in government schools.  What did the Gobitas kids do when they did not want to take the loyalty oath test?

Can there be freedom from unreasonable searches in government schools?

Can there be freedom of speech in government schools? A hot-selling T-shirt shows a snowman with a menacing expression. The Associated Press reports that the image popularized by a drug-dealer-turned-rapper symbolizes those who sell the white substance known on the street as snow: cocaine. Anti-drug campaigners and education officials say the T-shirt and others like it are part of sophisticated marketing campaigns using coded symbols for drug culture that parents and teachers are not likely to understand. Some schools ban kids from wearing the snowman images.
