This article has an impact on all of us. I don’t agree that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned in the state of California. If this ban would travel around the world, a lot of schools would have to change their name. Our school has the Redskins name and for the name Redskins to be banned, we would have to change the name of our school.

The two articles in this article of the week are called California Becomes First State to Ban ‘Redskins’ Nickname and Why ‘Redskins’ is a Bad Word.
A comparison of the two articles is, they are both supporting the law to make the word ‘Redskins’ banned. You can tell from reading the articles that people are trying to move us to their side that the word ‘Redskins’ is bad and should be banned. A contrast on these two articles are, in the first article, it gives information and quotes on what is going on. The second article talks about how a person thinks ‘Redskins’ is a bad word. Another contrast on these two articles is, the second article explains how calling people one word is different from calling people another word. An example of this is, calling people “a Jew” is worse than calling people “a Jewish person”. People are trying to make the word ‘Redskins’ into something impolite, just like what we saw in the example. In the first article, its explaining when this ban goes into effect. Evidence to go with this statement is, “The law, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed Sunday morning, goes into effect Jan. 1, 2017.” These were comparisons and contrasts about the two articles, California Becomes First State to Ban ‘Redskins’ Nickname and Why ‘Redskins’ is a Bad Word.
