Cain's campaign has no chance at making a come back, at this point he should just give up. His name is already associated with being unfaithful so there no way he will be elected as our president. I don't see why he would stop at suspending his campaign, I think he should just give the money to a charity or a candidate that actually has a chance and then drop out. I feel like he is just embarrassing himself by acting like he's still running.

Cain

The day that Herman Cain was accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, I said that his campaign was over. It is just way to early in the campaign to have that kind of negative attention placed on you, in addition to the fact that the things that he is accused of aren't just morally wrong; they are illegal. As far as suspending his campaign rather than ending it, this is just proof to me that he is too concerned with his own gain to have actually become president. That money was not given to him, it was given to the idea of a better America as defined by his supporters. The cash should go to organizations that are trying to make positive change in the areas that Cain's supporters believed Cain would make change in, not into a selfish politician's pocket.

Herman Cain

I think that it was a smart idea for Herman Cain to suspend his campaign instead of just ending it. This was he can still get back in if he really wants to and he can also keep on collecting money. I don't think that he should keep the money he has collected throughout his campaign if he doesn't rejoin. I believe that he should find a way to give it back or donate it.

Herman Cain

Yes i think he made the right decision suspending his campaign because he was not going to win anyways. Furthermore, I bet his family life is in shambles because of all the accusations against him date raping people and what not. I think he should just end his campaign not just suspended it because he's not coming back from the spot he's in. Also, i think he if he wants to have some authority in washington he should really give all his campaign money to another candidate and say he supports them. Then that candidate will be more likely to want to do things for herman.

Herman Cain scamming like a boss

Herman Cain definitely made the right decision to suspend his campaign. What he did, was the best move he could have possibly made. First of all, he gets to keep all of his donation money. He just scammed thousands of dollars in donation money meant for his presidential campaign. His campaign was ruined anyway because of the women who came forward about his actions. Furthermore, what's even better for Herman Cain is that he doesn't have to admit defeat. He's "suspending" his campaign. He doesn't have to admit defeat so he's basically just calling it a draw. You can say a lot of terrible things about Herman Cain but he definitely knows his way around the political system.

Herman Cain

I think he did good by suspending his campaign. Personally, I think Herman Cain should've just dropped his campaign instead. I don't think there's a point in him staying in the whole campaign since he decided to resign. All the rumors that spread about the sexual harassment would make it hard for him to win anyways.T
By his decision of resigning instead of dropping, just says that he knows he won't win, but just to keep the money raised from the campaign or just incase something major happens to the other runners, he can just re-enter the election. If he does end up dropping or keeping his position suspended, he should use the money raised to help other runners or do something productive.

Cain master flexxxxxx

So not knowing his views on everything i might be a little un informed but to the publics eyes if anyone steps out of something it either means they are guilty of something or they just quite. It was by far a huge mistake on his part because it also showed him as a weak candidate to just step down when it gets tough. If he were to become president would he just step down or pause when we were in danger lets hope not. He needs to either rebuild his tough image to the public or cease all advances. People need to know the man or women thier voting for has some kind of courage and belief and at least some what of a good person. We shall soon find out whether this was a smart decision or not . Actions need to be taken.

Cain

I think it was a good idea for Herman Cain to suspend his campaign. He was under so much scrutiny that it just wasn't worth it for him to keep going. He has to get his personal life taken care of first. He probably wouldn't have gotten far anyways, considering people these days will vote against you based how you run your personal life, not your policies or ideas, but that's a different story. I feel bad for him though I feel like people wait until somebody is in the spotlight and then come out with all the dirt on him, if all these scandals would've come out when they happened, he probably wouldn't have gotten in the race and saved himself time money and energy. All in all it was smart for him to suspend his campaign

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right desscion in suspending his campaign , because if he would have kept going he would have lost all his support. With him stepping down he can fix everything and get people to trust him again. As for the campaign money I think he should give it to charity. I feel like that would make him seem like he cares which will help get him back some support. also giving the money to charity would just be the right thing to do.

why does Cain keep collecting money?

Herman Cain made the completely wrong decision to suspend his campaign. He should have dropped it. Whether the accusations were true or false Cain knows that it is basically impossible to win the election at this point. Honestly why would he think that the people of America would vote for someone to lead their country who has been accused of sexual harassment and infidelity. A good politician would drop out of the race, work on repairing his media image for his career, and start backing up another republican candidate, yet instead he decides to suspend his campaign and keep collecting money. We can only hope he does something productive with all the money he has gained through his campaign.

Herman Cain

I think it was a good decision of him to suspend his campaign because I don't think he would have made it far with everything going on about him. People would not see him as a good candidate. However, all that money he has now is messed up. I think he should either give it back to everyone that donated or take that money and donate it to charity. I don't think it's fair for him to keep it.  

Cain

Herman Cain worked so diligently and put forth years and years of work in order to gain a positive image to gain support in an election and it was a shame to see all his work go to waste if these prosecutions were false. The rumors and prosecutions by the media, true or not stained his reputation. in order to regain a positive reputation would take way to much work and money, Cain did do the right thing for himself and his supporters money. In order to try and regain a positive image just as a person he should donate all the campaign money to the poor.

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision suspending his campaign. With the recent scandals and rumors, he has created a bad image of himself to the people. It would be very difficult for him to gain back the trust of his supporters and have a successful campaign after everything that has happened. It is best that he take some time to think and try to do some damage control. I hope that the donations that he raised from his campaign will go to a good cause. Giving the money to a charity might be a good way for him to regain the image of a trustworthy person that we can look up to.

herman cain

I think it was a good choice for Cain to suspend his campaign for the presidential election because of the bad reputation he's recieving from the media. I think he's lost a lot of trust from the american people though so I don't know if re-entering is even going to be an option for him at this point. Since he suspended his campaign he can still recieve money so I think his best decision would be to donate the money to another candidate and maybe try to get in the running as a VP.

Herman Cain

I do think it was a good idea for Herman Cain to drop out the race because of all the allegations of sexual harassment. These people that came out pretty much got what they wanted. Although I don't think the allegations have anything to do with the way that Cain would run our country. I think that he shouldn't be able to keep the campaign donations that he has received because he doesn't need the money anymore. Why should he get to keep money that was originally intended for his presidential campaign or himself? That isn't really fair...

Herman Cain

I think that suspending his campaign was the right choice for Herman Cain. The media has played a significant role in changing his appearance and making that information available to the public. At this point, he is not trusted by many Americans. I think the best thing for him to do would be to drop out and put all of the money he's raised to another candidate. But I think at least suspending his campaign was good so now he has time to figure out what he wants to do with his campaign.

Herman Cain

I think that Cain made the rigtht decision. He had the media all over him. I doubt he would have got the presidency anyway. By doing what he did he just made his life easier because the media was all over him. Cain isnt a dumb man so he knows what hes doing. The media just doesnt like him.

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right choice to suspend his campaign. He was not trusted by a lot of people so he had a slim chance of winning anyways. As for the money, I hope he will use it to back up another republican canadite.

Herman cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision, he ended his campaign before his public image could get even worse. i personally believe he should have to give his funds back, or have to use it to help better the nation.

It's hard to say whether Herman did the right thing by suspending his campaign..because really, he doesn't have a chance in the election now because of the accusations. I think it's great he made things well with his wife and God when he was all like, "I'm right with my wife! I'm right with God!"

or something like that.. like that's good..but most Americans aren't going to be able to move past this enough to vote him as the republican candidate. So I think he should make it clear as to whether he's going to start running again or not cause it's kinda sketch to give people the thoughts that he might or might not by suspending and still collecting money.. Lets just hope he is generous with it in the end.

Hermain Cain

I think it was a good idea for him to suspend his campaign. Obviously, it might not end well for him, but he knows what he needs and wants to get done. I've been in situations where I just need to forget everything and focus on one particular aspect. In Cain's case, he had to back down to take care of his personal life. From a logical standpoint, we might say that him taking care of his nonpolitical side is silly and unnecessary but we typically seem to judge our political officials based on what they do outside of the government. In this case, I think Cain at least knows what he is getting into, thus it's probably in his best interest to suspend his campaign.

Cain

I think Herman Cain was right to suspend his campaign. The scandal was getting too big and that's all people think of when you hear Herman Cain now. He couldn't focus on the country's issues because he kept having to deal with this. I think it is good that he is out of the race because now people can stop talking about this and worry more about the other presidential candidates. I don't think that Cain should be allowed to keep the money he got from donations to his campaign. Instead he should give that money to another candidate who he supports because this will help that person.

Dropout

I believe Cain should completely dropout of the race because the media has dug him to deep of a hole that he can no longer climb out of. This being said what he does with the money is his decision, I do think though it would be pretty scummy if he kept it all for himself. Also I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to run as someone's VP.

Herman Cain

Early this week Herman Cain made a public annoucment, that he was going to suspend his campaign, for the 2012 presidential election. He decided to do this because of all of the scandal of the suppost afair years ago. In my own opinion I think, he made a good decision of suspending his campaign,because it was lot of pressure for him. He still going to be able to raise money. The big question is what is he going to do with that money? is he going to keep it or make a deal with another candidate.

Herman Cain

I think that it was a good idea I guess. It will keep him out of the spotlight for a bit and let all the stuff about him calm down a bit. At the same time though he may lose support because he is not campaigning, but for the most part I believe his supporters will stick with him and that he will keep getting donations.

Herman Cain

I believe it is for the best that he suspends his campaign. Not to many people are happy with him right now. The people lost all trust in him when he decided to just suspend and not totally withdraw from the election. Since he is suspended he should not be recieving money for his campaign. And all of the money he used has been a waste. Also Cain recieved a bad media reputation and probably won't recover from it.

Herman Cain

Herman Cain should have never ran for the presidential candidacy. He's a complete idiot, but of course those are my opinions. Anyways, he should have dropped out completely because why would he re-enter the race. It would show he is not trustworthy and he's a major creep. I think it's ridiculous that he can suspend his campaign but continue to receive to money. With this money he can do anything with it. I think he should have to at least donate his money to the republican party committee. Or maybe he should have to divide the money he earns on his suspension up evenly and donate it to the candidates still in the race.

Dropout

I think this wasn't a bad move on his part. We all hate to see dropouts like this. Personally, with all the commotion about his affairs, I'm sure it was all too much for him to handle. As for the money, that decision lay in his hands. I'm sure he will distribute it the right way. Sorry bud:/

DROPOUT!

I think that it was a great idea for Herman to drop out of the campaing because had he become predident, the rumors would have garnished his reputation from the start. We've already had two womanizers as President (John f. Kennedy and Bill clinton) and with america losing its triple A credit rating, the last thing we need is a president that misrepresents the harding working American citizen. We may make trilllions of dollars in exports every year but we still depend on imports from other countries, and no self-respecting country would want to export to a country with a leader who seems more interested in women then the good of his own country. All the money people have donated to his fun raiser should be given back or should be use for a GOOD cause.

Herman Cain

Herman Cain made the right decision to suspend his campaign. The media had a bad influence on his success. I think he will have a difficult time coming back if he decides too. The public now has this imagine of him and I don't think they are going to change their minds. I dont think he should be able to continue raising money because honestly I don't think he has a chance anymore. In my opinion I think he should give his money to another candidate.

Hermain Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision my suspending his campaign. He knows he is not exactly seen as a trustworthy guy in the publics eye right now. What he needs to do is gain the peoples trust back. There are a few things he can do in order to do this. I think his best bet is to donate his money that has been fundraising to another candidate that he supports. This is because the public may look at him differently after he does does this and respect his decision. He knew he wouldn't win with all these rumors, but if he truly believed his political ideas would be best for America, by supporting a candidate with similar views, it would show he has Americas best interest in mind. This would benefit Cain if he was ever planning on being selected as Vice President, a cabinet member, or even re-election.

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision to suspend his campaign. At the moment not a lot of people are happy with him. All of the scandals that have been going on are not going to help him out in any way. And this was for the best. Cain started off okay but once you have negative media attention drawn to you, it is hard to come back from it. Hopefully, he will give his campaign money to another candidate. People will feel alittle better of him, then if he were to just keep it for himself.

cain is skum

i think this herman cain dude should just leave politics and never come back. If he couldnt even tell be truthful and loyal to his wife, are we going to trust this guy to be 100% truthful to everyone of us American that deserve the truth and nothing but it. I dont mean to just rant and rant but i just dont like being lied to. He is in all honesty a skum bag that nobody can trust and all he wants is the fame and the money of jumping into politics. He should never be aloud to run for president ever again. We forced Bill Clinton out because of his woman affairs and in my opinion he was doing a good job in the presidency. I think herman cain doesnt have what it takes to be president because he wouldnt make the changes that Obama promised us and hes got this scandolous secret life that he hides from us. I like Patrick Kane, but Herman is not my favorite.

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision to suspend his campaign. The public opinion is very strong and it will be difficult for them to let this go. First impressions are always very important, and it's not going to help him win with what is being said about him, despite if it's true or not. Also, I think it's good that if things begin to settle down with his whole situation, maybe he can begin to campaign again? If that's even possible! But for now, I think Herman Cain made the right decision. He can now decide what to do with his money, which will show his true colors. If he decides to donate his money to another candidate, then people will begin to trust him more and if he decides to keep the money, then it shows he doesn't care too much about our government.

Herman Cain

I think Herman Cain made the right decision to suspend his campaign because there were too many accusations against him that would have made it too hard to do well. The numerous women who claimed to have had an affair with him went public and true or not, many Americans think it is a character flaw that is too late for Herman Cain to fix. Cain should not be able to continue raising money because he suspended his campaign and shouldn't be able to take peoples' money.

Cain Cain Cain

Hermain Cain recently withdrew his bid in becoming the Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential run. I think this was a smart move on his part, as long as he executes it fairly. With all the recent rumours going around, he just wouldn't have had the nation-wide acceptance he needs in order to win, so he might as well give the support he DOES have to someone else who can do it. He needs to donate his campaign finances to the best option for the Republican spot (in his opinion), and make some sort of ad campaign or something letting his voters know that he isn't running, but that they should vote for his recommended Republican.

Hermain Cain

I think it a smart decision by him to suspend his campaign. The reason being is because with all this negative media attention, if he takes a step away from it for a little while, things might calm down. His campaign and his personal life were getting wayy too involved with one another and it is hard to concentrate on winning a political campaign when your personal life is interfering with peoples opinions on you. As for all the money he made goes, i think he should give it to another candidate, supposing that he drops out. i feel if he keeps it, the people are just going to be even more aggravated with him and it will turn into a huge scandal, even more than it already has.

Chinese Teachers

I think it is more of a civil rights issue than an economic one. Because in a way it is being discriminating against those who have HIV. having HIV does not effect how they teach, or have anything to do essentially with the job they are pursuing. therefore it is a civil right issue because it is restricting people from getting the jobs they specifically studied for based on a medical condition that has nothing to do with their teaching abilities.

Herman Cain

Personally, I think Herman Cain made the right decision because it was all up to him. No one can completely understand what was going on in his mind when he made the announcement because most everyone has an alternative motive. If he suspended his campaign for something as honorable as being president of the USA, then he surely had to have some good reasoning; no one does that "just because." In terms of the money, I don't agree with how he can keep all of the money he raised. It should at least be given to a charity of some sorts because keeping it for his own selfish reasons would be horrible. I also don't think he should give it to another candidate because this gives them an immediate advantage that they themselves did not earn.

Chinese Teachers

I think that they, shouldn't fired those chinese teachers that were contaminated with HIV. They made a mistake, Im pretty sure that, there are other teacher that there that don have the same knowledge that they have. I think that the teacher wouldnt cause a big danger for the students. I think this is agaist the right of the teachers. They are being descriminated and they should fight for their rights.

Campaign dropout!

Yes , he did a right decision on dropping out , because if he kept going on in his campaign he would of lost half the votes he had due to the accuses of the other ladies agaisnt him clearly he would of lost votes from girls all over the country. This did effect his campagin because all the hard work all his co- helpers did went to waste , he should of thought what he was doing before he did his thing , dropping out was the right decision to do at the end.

I have no clue about Herman Cain

I do not know wether or not Cain should have suspended his campaign. I don't pay any attention to that. I'm sure he has a good reason to or that things probably aren't going well for him right now. I don't think his supporters are giving up just yet, I believe they will continue to follow him until he officially ends it. So did he make the right choice?

Teachers

I think it both restricts people's human rights and it restricts people's ability to make money. These people shouldn't be denied their teaching jobs because of a disease that isn't contagious. The students would not be in danger because it cannot be transmitted to them. The Chinese government is denying these people's jobs, thus denying them their ability to make money. This is why it's partially an economic issue. Also if none of them even have a record of child molesting, there is no way any student is in danger.

Quarter 2, Week 6: Herman Cain

Do you think Herman Cain made the right decision to suspend his campaign?  Why or why not?  How do you think his campaign donations should be handled?

Chinese Teachers

I believe that this is a civil rights and a economical issue. It has to do with civil rights because no one should be discriminated against just because they are HIV positive. You can't just discriminate against people because your afraid and ignorant of their condition. And it's a economical problem because they can not make any money because people wont hire them.

HIV

This is definitely a civil rights issue. People who have the HIV virus are being treated as 2nd class citizens for a stupid reason. China needs to stop being so ignorant about this problem and address it. Just because someone has HIV doesn't mean they are a bad or unfit teacher. I don't see one good reason why someone should be denied as a teacher especially when they are qualified just because they have HIV.

Teachers

I think it is more of a civil rights issue because its just limiting a small portion of the people in china not a lot. Also the people who denied them should have not done that because its not like the teacher is going to be giving his/her students blood. The civil service in china should remake the old laws about HIV because they are just discriminating against the teachers. But i don't think that the petition will do anything in the communist government.

Teachers

This a both a civil rights and an economic issue. It's kind of a trick question because arguments can easily be made for both sides. Say you were to say it was a civil rights issue because it's discriminating against those who have HIV, somebody could say no it's ecomnic because they're not able to make money. The only people who know the real answer to this are the ones who denied these teachers the jobs in the first place. Either way it's wrong these teachers shouldn't be denied because they have HIV or because they can't make good money.

HIV

I believe this is a civil issue, but it will soon trun into an economic issue. This is deffently a problem that needs to be fixed. I don't understand how they can just keep people with HIV from working or getting the right type of hospitalzation. If they don't have a job then they have any way of getting money and if they have no money then they are going to have more problems then just have to fight with HIV. I feel like this is going to cause alot of prblems for china if theydon't handle this soon.

Chinese Teachers

The whole thing makes sense to me. I get it: people can get HIV from standing in the same room as an authority figure. It's simply for the safety of all the potential students that we prevent these teachers from receiving any sort of employment. In all seriousness, it's definitely a civil rights issue. I personally don't understand why exactly they need blood tests to be done. But no teacher should be denied a job just because they have a disease in which they can only infect others through sexual interaction.

Teachers with that HIV

This is definatly a civil rights issue and a economic issue. I cant really see someone saying that its specifically one or the other, because they contradict each other. These teachers will not be able to get jobs to make enough money to live, which is cruel and unusual for someone having HIV. Its terrible to think that this actually takes place in a nation that is thought of as one of the smartest countries in the world. Unless they are trying to get rid of people with HIV's, because then it would actually be really smart. Getting back to the point, it is a problem that is concerning both sides.

Teachers

I'd say its both but more so a human rights issue because i mean they are discriminating a person based off of their fear of themselves receiving a disease they no bascially nothing about. Which i think is pretty sad because that's just the way the world is. Yeah maybe eventually it'll change but until then that's just the way it is and all i can say is that it is unfair.

Chinese Teachers

I think this issue is more of a civil rights issue. These teachers are denied jobs only because they have a non contagious disease. This means that society looks at them with a lower status then they would look at someone without the disease. This civil rights issue creates an economic issue because now these people are unable to support their families. The government is denying these people jobs only based off of their health records, not off of any of their other traits; creating both an economic and civil rights issue.

Uneducated people= civil rights issues

It's definitely a civil rights issue. The Chinese citizens are being denied jobs because they have a disease they have. It's discrimination. People are ignorant in China and don't fully understand the disease and that they can't get infected unless they have sexual contact or contact with an infected person's blood. The Chinese government needs to have more programs on educating the people of China on what the disease really is. The fact that people with HIV are being turned away at a hospital really emphasizes how uneducated people are in China about the disease. Even the medical staff in China doesn't understand the disease.

Ignorance is non progressive

The people of China are ignorant to the properties of AIDS and believe the patience of AIDS to be highly contagious in just being in the same room as them. Not knowing the actual risks of AIDS has made such large amount of fear in the chine's society that it is both an economic and human rights issue. It is a human rights problem because these AIDS positive citizens are being denied rights and opportunities that are available to everyone. Part of the denial to the patience is an opportunity for a job and health care which is then an economic problem; this then creates a vicious cycle of the patient not being able to support their illness with proper health care.

Chinese Teachers

I think it both restricts people's human rights and it restricts people's ability to make money. These people shouldn't be denied their teaching jobs because of a disease that isn't contagious. The students would not be in danger because it cannot be transmitted to them. The Chinese government is denying these people's jobs, thus denying them their ability to make money. This is why it's partially an economic issue. Also if none of them even have a record of child molesting, there is no way any student is in danger.

Chinese Teacher

I think it is a civil rights issue. People should not be denied a job for having HIV. The deisease can only be spread sexually so there isnt really a threat to students. People with diseases that can only be spread sexually shouldnt be denied a job for that reason. If the disease was easily spread then, yes it would be a good reason to deny someone of a job. HIV is not.

Chinese Teachers

I think this is both an economic issue as well as a civil rights issue. It's not fair that these men are being denied their right to work just because of their health status. This is an economic issue because Chinese government is not allowing them to have a job that supports their family. This leads on to being a civil rights issue because it got rid of their right to have a job they want and need. But the disease is HIV/AIDS. The only way other people will be affected by the men's disease is if they have sexual contact with the students, which obviously cannot happen. So there's no reason for them to have their jobs taken away.

Human Rights Issue

From reading the article, I think this issue is more human rights than economic. The people with HIV are being pushed away from having a job. The disease is not easily spread. These people are losing their job from a disease that is able to be avoided. It is a good idea to have HIV infected people give space every time they do their occupation. Their potential in teaching is being forced to disappear by the Chinese, court system. Hopefully, the Chinese government sees the HIV infected people in China will be able to work by kind will and how the disease can be seperated from the people with no HIV.

I think this issue is more of a human rights issue. Even in the article it said that in China, HIV is mostly just spread through sexual contact. So if someone denies a person from teaching because of HIV they should have a good reason for it.. like this person is a child molester or something and therefore may get into sexual contact with the children and possibly spread the virus. But to simply deny them because they have the virus doesn't seem fair because no one would know the person had the virus unless they tested them anyways.

Chinese teachers

i think this is more an issue of civil rights. The people are being discriminated against because they are a minority. Just because they are HIV positive they were refused jobs that they were fully qualified for. this is totally unjust, and should be corrected by the government of china.

Chinese Teachers

I think it is more of a civil righs issue. This disease is non-contagious and is discriminatory. Everyone is equal, even these 3 teachers. I also thin that this can be an economic issue to. These 3 people can't get a job that they want and will have to take a worse job with less pay. This is affecting them greatly and they can't have the job or money they want for a good life.

Teachersaa

Hearing about things like this still is very unfortunate. No matter what someone has it shouldn't stop them from doing what they love. I believe this is more of a civil rights topic because most teachers teach because they love to do it not to make money.If anything the students should have the option of taking his class if they want to. If he's a good teacher there is no reason to stop someone who is qualified.Certain movements should be made to change the decision that was made.

Chinese Teachers

I definitely think this is a civil case more than an economic one. It is a violation of a person’s basic human right to deny them an equal opportunity to success, and a source of income to survive. No person should ever be treated differently based on a sickness they have. Having HIV doesn’t interfere with a person’s ability to teach a class as well as someone without HIV. I think that people reject those with HIV because they are afraid. People discriminate against others because they fear what they don’t know, and choose to just find a way to avoid the issue. Many people don’t know a lot about HIV, and can only believe stereotypical assumptions spread by the media. It is wrong to deny someone a job just because they have a certain disease when they don’t even know a whole lot about it.

I believe that it is a civil right issue. Denying someone the opportunity for equal chance of success based off their condition is horrible. These men now have to deal with the fact that they have a life threatening virus as well as the fact that they are being denied job opportunities. The companies do not have the right to deny them of their rights; it's one big contradiction. China needs to consider how they are limiting these men's civil rights and make a change. Without an income these men will not be able to pay for treatment and further prevention of the virus, they need the job for survival.

Chinese Teachers

I think this is a civil rights issue because these teachers are being denied a job because of the fact they have a disease which takes away their rights as a human. They are being discriminated against only because they have HIV/Aids and are not getting the job over someone else who doesnt have the virus, even if they are a more qualified teacher. I think if this discrimination continues to grow it could become an economic issue, because people with the disease will be denied jobs and even medical treatment and can be worse off economically then the other citizens in China.

Chinese Teachers

I believe that this is first and foremost a civil rights issue. The product of people being denied work because of a disease also affects the economy but that is just a secondary problem. I understand why they are discriminated against, but I do not believe it is right. It would be better for everyone if they stopped discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. Discrimination and ignorance has never gotten anyone anywhere.

Chinese Teachers

I think this is more of a civil rights issue because it is dealing with people's human rights. Why should these teachers be denied a job just because they have the virus that spreads HIV and AIDS? Like a lot of other people are saying, the virus can only be spread through sexual contact. It's not like the teachers will be having sexual contact with their students. Well, I at least hope they won't. I think it's completely unfair that these teachers are being denied teaching jobs because of having the virus.

This is definitely more of a civil rights issue than it is a economic one. Yes, these teachers are being denied the chance to make money, but it is more significant of why they are being denied. Thousands of people get denied jobs every day, but when the reason they are being denied is because they are HIV positive, it is a huge civil rights issue. To deny someone a job just because they have a sickness is wrong, especially if they are qualified for that job. It is discrimination and the system in China should be rethought.

The case of the three Chinese men who were denied teaching jobs due to having HIV is a civil hardship. They are being profiled due to their personal illness that is not transferable due to normal activity with students. Something needs to be done about this civil injustice, or they will set a bad example for everyone else in the world watching.

I definitely think that the issue the article is referring to is a Civil Rights one. Here, three people are being denied a job based on something that does not effect said job. Further on, people with the HIV disease in China are being stigmatized all over. They are being judged completely on just the taboo of the disease and nothing else.

I don't believe people should be discriminated against especially when chinas most basic moral or rule is to treat people fairly. But i can also see the issue when it comes to hiring someone that is HIV positive to work with children. Although the disease is not easily transferable there is still a risk there. I don't believe people with life threatining diseases that can be caught should be hired to work with children.

I think this is more of a civil rights issue, but is definitely an economic issue too. No person should ever be treated differently based on the fact that they have a sickness, even if it is HIV. The economic aspect is rooted from the civil rights issue; the reason the teachers can't get a job is because they have HIV, therefore making it very difficult to make money. This also shows the ignorance of the people hiring because HIV is not contagious and for the time being, the teachers are capable of doing work and they need to make a living.

I believe this is a civil rights issue because it is restricting these teachers rights. If someone is fully qualified to do a job they should not be denied unless they will be a threat to the health of the students and other staff members at the school. With HIV this is not an issue so these teachers should not be discriminated against. Although I would consider this primarly a civil rights issue, that does not mean it will not be an economic issue. If no one with AIDS is being hired in China then people with this disease are therefore restricted from making money.

I think this is a civil rights issue. These three teachers are being discriminated against because they have a disease... that's not fair! They are fully qualitfied teachers and they deserve an equal opportunity. They have the right to be whatever profession they want. These teachers are also getting denied for treatment!! These teachers need to be treated equally because they aren't harmful to students in anyway. It's sad to think that these people are being denied jobs just because they have HIV.
