My plan is to write a localization article regarding the recent ruling made by a federal judge in Texas, stating that drafting only men into the military during a state of conscription is unconstitutional.  The news hook, or what makes the story relevant now, is that the US could potentially be involved in a war in the future. With Donald Trump as president and considering his weak foreign policy and combative personality, anything is possible. I want to ask the future of America, particularly women, how they would feel about being drafted. Comparatively, in Israel, both men and women are required to be a part of the military for two years. I think it will be interesting to use Melissa Harris Perry as a source, because she is an influential member of the Wake Forest community with very strong opinions. I will also compare Israel and America’s differing policies on gender drafting and see how people react. I will ask male and female students and professors what they think about this ruling, using these questions as a guide.

• Now that a federal judge in Houston, Texas, named Gray H. Miller, has ruled it unconstitutional to only draft men, how will America react?
• Isit unconstitutional to bar women from the draft?
• If we are to uphold ideals of feminism and equality, then should both men and women be part of the draft?
• Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Do you think their power derives from the fact that both men and women are required to have two years of military involvement, starting at the age of 18?
• Do Wake Forest students agree or disagree with this draft ruling?
