Freedom Ride

I like ”’ I may not agree to what you are saying. I die for you to say it.”

"Give me freedom, or give me death"

Patrick Henry

I need to find a quote that is about the ideas of "When I head the learn’d astronomer" by Walt Whitman and "Have you ever hurt about baskets" by Marylit Altaha. My thesis is that the authors use personification and imagery to depict the theme that people favor learning differently from traditional methods. If you are able to, please help me find a quote relating to this thesis not located in any of the poems. I am looking for this also, but have had no success so far.

Yahoo will have plenty of sites on non-traditional education from which you can choose your own quotes.

What even more terrible news does Washington have to hide, and just WHO declared martial law on the GOM without telling the rest of us? Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are guaranteed rights in the U.S. Constitution. If these rights have been taken without anyone telling us, then we have a constitutional crisis, in addition to an extinction-level oil disaster.

Corporations get to make up the law, with both parties’ blessing.

the law is of the corporations, by the corporations. We the People need not apply.

Elected Dems are just as bad as Republicans on this.

It’s honestly a disgrace, forget freedom of speech, this is ridiculous, these bunch of animals should be shot. It’s soldiers like those that ensured that we have such freedoms. As they are going against these; their freedom should be stripped and whatever punishment the public see fit should be enforced. Hopefully death.

The soldiers should be allowed to break ranks and set about these scum,And the police should walk away.

Explore historical background on First Amendment freedom of speech rights with particular focus on freedom of expression in a public school setting and the Supreme Court decision in Tinker v. Des Moines.

Tinker v. Des Moines School District (1969)

——————————————————————————–

Case Summary
In 1965, John Tinker, his sister Mary Beth, and a friend were sent home from school for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. The school had established a policy permitting students to wear several political symbols, but had excluded the wearing of armbands protesting the Vietnam War. Their fathers sued, but the District Court ruled that the school had not violated the Constitution. The Court of Appeals agreed with the lower court, and the Tinkers appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Court’s Decision
In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the students had the right to wear armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Justice Abe Fortas wrote for the majority. He first emphasized that students have First Amendment rights: “It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” While schools certainly have the right to establish rules relating to “the length of skirts or the type of clothing, to hair style,…[or] aggressive, disruptive action or even group demonstrations,” this case does not involve any of those issues. “The school officials banned and sought to punish petitioners for a silent, passive expression of opinion, unaccompanied by any disorder or disturbance on the part of petitioners. There is here no evidence whatever of petitioners’ interference, …with the schools’ work or of collision with the rights of other students to be secure and to be let alone. Accordingly, this case does not concern speech or action that intrudes upon the work of the schools or the rights of other students.”

Justice Hugo Black dissented. He pointed out that the case involved a small number of students who refused to obey the instructions of school officials, and argued that allowing this behavior would have a negative effect on schools and on the country as a whole.

More on the Case
Mary Beth Tinker eventually became a nurse and worked with the Veterans Administration. She later wrote that it was “a privilege to work with our veterans who had sacrificed part of their lives.… I work with a lot of paraplegics and quadriplegics, and some of them were injured in the Vietnam War… So I don’t have any regrets about it at all. I’m proud to have been a part of anything that stopped the war.”

The Supreme Court has dealt with other school cases since Tinker. In Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser, 1986, the Court held that a high school student did not have the right under the First Amendment to use indecent language and sexual metaphors in a speech at a school assembly.

In Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, 1988, the Court ruled that school officials could regulate the content of the student newspaper in any reasonable way. The principal had deleted student articles about teen pregnancy and about the impact of parental divorce on students at the school. In both Fraser and Kuhlmeier, the Court emphasized that students in public schools do not always have the same First Amendment rights as adults in other settings.

I need help.
I am working on a paper and to bring everything together I need this one piece of information.

What law or rule gives the schools to act as the ‘parent’ when you are on the school grounds?

I mean, its no news that the school takes away freedom of speech(with good reason) so you can’t just go around cursing and making threats, but i want to know why?How?

What law?
If that makes sense.

Help Will be greatly appreciated.

freedom of speech doesnt really mean freedom of speech. you cant make threats anywhere, and you cant say anything that could incite violence. so cussing and threats are both technically illegal. but they should take into account how the word was used like if your cussing at someone then its bad but casually cussing shouldn’t be a problem.

I need to find a quote on Jim and how he wants to buy his family’s freedom, but I cant find it in the book! If anyone knows what page its on, or where it is it would be a great help! thanks to much!!

Can someone please describe freedom to me or how human rights work because the way I see it is if I was a murderer or or rapist , would it not be my human right to murder and rape , if I feel that that my right , so how can you someone take that right and freedom awy from me ?

Rights are balanced out by responsibilities. As a general rule, you do not have the right to violate someone else rights, and that forms part of your responsibilities.

To use your example, I have a right to live. You have no right to infringe on my right to live, and your are being responsible by not killing me.
