Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.
layeredsky.bsky.social Layered Sky @layeredsky.bsky.social · Mar 5
Everyone has inalienable rights.
USE THEM.

‼️Highlight on:
In this instance, what speech is protected? The Supreme Court has ruled on many cases involving free speech like:
•Tinker v. Des Moines
"Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.”
A meme captioned: celebrating the first amendment with a cartoon character of Uncle Sam holding out a cake captioned: freedoms with five burning candles each captioned: speech, press, religion, assembly, petition. Also Listed in the meme includes: •It's home to some of America's most important freedoms. These rights are the pillars of our democratic government. •Many of the Founders believed that a free press was essential to our republic. •The Printing Press. •1st Freedom of expression 1791. • THE BILL OF RIGHTS First on the list of additions to the Constitution the First Amendment is often at the center of some of our country's most spirited debates. •Separation of Church & State? •Americans continue to debate what this exactly means, especially in the context of education. •Symbolic speech. Some speech isn't spoken aloud. Burning the American flag and burning draft cards have been treated differently by the Supreme Court. •What speech is protected? The Supreme Court has ruled on many cases involving free speech. •Tinker v. Des Moines "Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate. •"..Free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny.

Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

Real question. What is an “illegal protest”? Real question. He was convicted of a crime. Why hasn’t he been expelled?

Near the White House, at Black Lives Matter Plaza. Protesters held a vigil for democracy around the time Trump’s address to Congress began.

“For all of those out there somehow still shocked by what is happening right now, Maya Angelou told us when someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid
