In a recent article I read titled "The Schools Are Destroying Freedom of Speech" talks about how schools do not spend enough time teaching about out government and its constitution and bill of rights. They also tell of multiple stories how schools "take" away these rights from its students.
My thoughts on this is nothing but true. Being a recent high school graduate, I first hand know how schools react to students bashing the school or administration. In the article a student refers to the school as a "prison" during a commencement address in front of 1000 people, and the administration unplugged the microphone before he could finish. Talk about breaking the right to free speech. With the government agreeing to this type of activity, whats next? Will our government begin to "pull the cord" on a microphone when a citizen says something they disagree with? This is just crazy! Especially considering that the first amendment, right to free speech, is said to apply to everyone, no matter their beliefs. So why are we allowing schools to sensor the voice of its students?
