Hello, It is quite comical how we have gotten to the point of which we are now censoring what we can and cannot wear. It is extremely ludacris. The reason I find it both comical and ludacris is because freedom of expression is a human right. The reason I wear the hat is that I am in support of a Conservative President. I support his Pro-Life stance, his call to a return of Traditional values, his defense of the West, his speech on why we must protect Western Values and our Judeo-Christian heritage, his Muslim ban and his support for Israel. on. Previously I have heard you state that you would like AVID youth to be a place of expression. I agree 100% that youth should be a place of expression. I stand for Conservative values and if I am not …show more content…

I exclaimed “Oh yes, I can put up an American flag” to which your response was not very welcoming. You had double checked with my sister to ensure that I really was of American decent. When she had agreed you had then not had a very pleasing look on your face. Furthermore you tried to change the rules so that I was not able to bring in an American flag, by saying “actually it can only be two generations back”. Luckily enough my American heritage is within the restriction you tried to place. If you would like to fact check this I encourage you to speak with my parents. I did not appreciate how you had changed your mind in an attempt for me to no longer bring in an American flag. I would have to say this is a form of inequity as you had said you would allow Jonathon to bring in a Thai flag of which he is not even of Thai heritage nor of that ethnic descent. The point is I don't mind if Jonathan would like a Thai flag, however I do feel discriminated against when rules are bent so that it would not allow me to bring an American flag in. Anyways, I would think it is an anti American, anti Trump bias and not an act of

The article, “French Jews struggle with an identity dilemma as violence increases”, claims that French Jews are being targeted by ISIS. The Jews don’t know if they should wear skullcaps in public because it could potentially cause them to be a target. A skullcap proclaims their religion, and is meant to remind the wearer of God’s presence over him. I think that Jews should be allowed to wear kippas (skullcaps) because they would still be attacked for any other reason that expresses that they are Jewish. The kippas aren 't really offensive and they don 't affect anyone.

As George Orwell once said, “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” Every day, men and women in the armed forces fight for our freedom and for our safety. As we live our day to day lives, we do not think about how our country became free and who made it free. In America, we have the freedom of petition, freedom of religion, but most importantly in Colin Kaepernick’s case, the freedom of speech. Recently, Colin Kaepernick, 49er’s quarterback, refused to stand for the National Anthem.

Another limitation that does not protect citizens under the First Amendment is using fighting words that disturb the peace. In April 1940, Walter Chaplinsky was in downtown in Rochester, New Hampshire handing out literature and speaking publicly about religion. As Chaplinsky continued to talk, the crowd continued to grow, blocking the streets and disturbing the area. The public around him became upset with Chaplinsky as he began to denounce religion as “racket”.

Students in school aren’t allowed to wear hats, hoodies, or beanies on their heads because administration believes that kids might be concealing their identity. Students should be allowed to wear hats in school because they don 't cause any harm or any problems, and some kids may need a hat for many reasons. Hats don 't cause anyone problems which is a good thing. All it is just a piece of clothing that goes on the top of one 's head. I wear a hat everyday because I like the way it looks, and almost every day one teacher yells at me to take it off.

Arguments over the First Amendment and its guarantee of a freedom of speech and expression have existed since the dawn of the country, and although these discussions often happen as a result of a major policy changes or violent events involving both sides of the political spectrum, I personally feel as if the amendment should be looked in another light. Just as Ben Shapiro explores in his article titled “The End of the First Amendment,” the crisis that we are facing about our First Amendment results from the individual actors on the debate stage. Both sides are at fault here, where in some locations liberals are the one to blame and other places, conservatives. Arguments should be intellectually stimulating and conducted as a way to not only

Many people are debating that Citizens United is a threat to democracy, but I think Citizens United has a significant impact in promoting freedom of speech. There are some reasons, which make Citizens United support freedom of speech. First of all, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abrigding the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people preceably to assemble”(Canon, David pg 96), that is the most famous statement in which describes the First Amendment. And how Citizen United relates to the Freedom of Speech? The First Amendment is created to serve people and it should be serve for only people, so everyone should have a right to speak and listen

Any girl who has attended a public high school understands the daily dilemma of dress code. On those scorching hot days as the school year approaches summer, many girls can be found scavenging through their closet for a “school appropriate” outfit or one they won’t melt into a sweaty puddle in. Her dresses will show too much leg, her tops will inappropriately expose her shoulder or collar bone, and her shorts will be too short — at least that 's what the school says. Dress code in modern day high schools should be boycotted because they are a violation to student and parents rights, sexist, out of date, a double standard, and they disrupt a female students education. It 's fair to agree with a policy that claims stringent dress codes increase the emphasis on academics and reduce the pressure of socioeconomic status; however, these dress codes violate the students First Amendment right to freedom of expression and the parents’ Fourteenth Amendment right to raise their children in their own way.

Hat it is! But did you ever think that hats could actually define who you are? Well hats in certain areas in the 19th century sure did. We can’t necessarily assume that hats today are too different from the past. For instance, specific baseball hats could represent a community.

Freedom of Expression vs. Freedom from Harm One of the greatest controversies of our contemporary world is the one between the ideas of freedom of expression and freedom from harm. On the one side of the spectrum, the idealists of freedom of expression are proud of their irreconcilable attitude toward any attempt of putting any restriction on freedom of expression. The ideal of freedom of expression, therefore, aims for the absence of any restriction of any kind notwithstanding its context or content. This is the position of the Dutch press, for instance, in the controversy over the publication of the caricatures on prophet Mohammed. This is an extreme position through which one plays the role of the irreconcilable defender of freedom.

I 'd like to add the fact that the definition of what we refer to as our freedom of speech wasn 't clearly specified at that time. This allowed federalists wiggle room to twist the meaning in their favor and create a debate against the democratic-republicans. The definition came under great scrutiny from the federalists with them claiming that they should be able to protect themselves from false or malicious words. Fortunately, in the long term Thomas Jefferson was elected president and in his inaugural speech gave Americans a definition that supported their right to think and write without

I am undecided for Freedom of Speech. There are plenty of good and bad qualities, and as much as there are pros there are also an equal amount of cons to freedom of speech. According to the first amendment, we the people have the freedom of speech which allows us the right to speak freely without censorship. Freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, such as on “hate speech”. There are many pros and cons to freedom of speech, which is why I am only discussing three pros and cons, that I find that argues the opposite side, to the point it made me undecided on free speech.

2. Disadvantages of regulations/censorship 2.1 compromising the freedom of speech Censorship compromises the freedom of speech in many different ways. Freedom of speech refers to the right to speak without censorship or being restraint by a higher authority of the organization or country. For example, Compromising the freedom of speech will not allow the society to voice out their negative thoughts or to protest at a government or a government-related event. This example clearly shows that freedom of speech is being compromised as people are unable to voice out what they truly feel and are mostly forced to keep their opinions to themselves as voicing these opinions will make the rest of the society think in a different way and steer them away to generate other ideas or thoughts.
