  Second-class citizen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second class citizen is an informal term used to describe a person who is discriminated against or generally treated unequally within a state or other political jurisdiction.
While not necessarily slaves or criminals, second class citizens have limited legal rights and economic opportunities, and are often subject to mistreatment or neglect at the hands of their putative superiors.
A second-class citizen's status may be de jure or de facto and is generally regarded as a violation of human rights.

 Class Dismissed- Questioning the government's policy on parenthood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
CLASS I is the original and natural class of all parents.
CLASS I parents who happen to earn a large amount of money, or simply have lots of money, are under no more obligation to their children than those who earn or have very little.
Some are related to the children of a CLASS II parent being withheld from them while the government does nothing, or even assists, and some are the result of the full realization of the futility of what has happened to them, and the frustration with their helplessness to do anything about it.

 Feminist Perspectives on the Self
Lacking the right to vote or to serve on juries, she was a second-class citizen whose enfranchised husband purportedly represented her politically.
Second, it is a political point of departure — the affirmation of women's collective right to take charge of their gendered identity.
In her view, the principal task for feminist theory is to provide an analysis of gender as a "pattern of social relations that constitute the social classes of men as dominant and women as subordinate." The other forms of gender, including gendered identity, should be explained in terms of this fundamental structure.

 In Defence of Marxism - Israel: Second class citizen, second class human being
In Israel Arab citizens are by law supposed to be equal to their fellow Jewish citizens.
In addition, the report documents cases of violence directed at Arabs by Jewish citizens and law enforcement agents and laments what it calls the failure to address racism and "racist Jewish organizations", such as the Haifa terror cell, which on nine separate occasions attempted to target Arabs.
The day before the report on the discrimination against Arabs emerged, the TV news reported that Israel has twice the amount of violence in schools of any western country; to me this is not a surprise, we are surrounded by violence all the time.

 Atheist unable to block Bush inauguration blessing
As an atheist, Newdow said allowing a sectarian prayer made him feel like a "second-class citizen" and a "political outsider," adding that he should be able to attend one of the nation's most important ceremonies without being subjected to religious views he does not support.
But Bates, a Bush appointee, ruled that Newdow's claim of harm was "less than compelling" and said barring clergy-led prayers would infringe on the president's ability to choose the speakers at his inauguration.
Ellen Johnson, president of the group American Atheists, said the ruling Friday was a disappointment for the roughly 30 million Americans who are not religious and who may be offended by hearing prayers at the inauguration.
