What was the American Legislative Exchange council’s involvement with the following: the Trayvon Martin case, the Collective Bargaining case in Wisconsin and the recall election of Governor Scott Walker, legislation for special needs education, and the privatization of prisons?

Respuesta :

ALEC proposed bills involving all of these cases and got them to pass

Recall Election of Scott Walker - ALEC supported Walker in the election because Walker tracked and promoted their policies, despite public opposition.

Trayvon Martin - ALEC advanced the NRA's "Stand your Ground" law, which states that you can defend your ground if someone inflicts violence on you.

Wisconsin Collective Bargaining Case - ALEC created the "Budget Repair Bill" that eliminated collective bargaining for state workers.

Special Needs Education - ALEC passed a bill to use taxpayer funds to send special needs kids to schools that met the kids' requirements

Privatization of Prisons - ALEC worked to pass state laws to create private for-profit prisons

ALEC passed bills (or supported Walker) in all these circumstances to further enforce the circumstances presented.
