Zentangle and Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 Not to get into politics - but RBG has some amazing accomplishments during her life.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg one of only four females Supreme Court Justices in history. 
A couple of her many accomplishments while in office.

-Women have the right to financial independence and equal benefits.

Ginsburg’s work paved the way for the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which passed 
in 1974 and allowed women to apply for bank accounts, credit cards, and mortgages
without a male co-signer. She also helped ensure that women could 
receive the same
military housing allowances as men, and women are no longer required to pay more
for pension plans than men to receive the same benefits, according to the ACLU.

-Men are entitled to the same caregiving and Social Security rights as women.  
Throughout her career, Ginsburg stressed how gender equality benefits both men and women. 

In 1968, Ginsburg represented Charles Moritz, a man who had never been married and claimed a tax deduction for caring for his mother, according to Smithsonian Magazine. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) denied his deduction because he was a man and unmarried. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled that the IRS had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution and in 1971 Section 214 of the IRS Code was amended to allow individuals to claim caregiving deductions, regardless of sex.

-Juries must include women.


Today Zoom class, 7/24/21, we thank her for all her efforts for the people. I was suggested to design a class of a famous person.  Jeanette, a student, suggested Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  This class is the design I came up with.
