Texas v. Johnson (1989)
Gregory Johnson burned an American flag during a political protest and was convicted under Texas law of desecrating a flag. The Supreme Court ruled that flag burning is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. While some found the flag burning offensive, causing offense is not enough to prohibit speech. The Court determined that Johnson's actions were a protected form of expression and symbolic speech under the freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment.

FDR believed that Democrats could regain control of Congress once the Republicans led the country into a serious economic depression, as occurred in the 1930s with the Great Depression.

His reforms like Social Security, FDIC, and SEC endured because they reduced risks for future generations rather than just addressing the immediate crisis.

Civil liberties involve basic freedoms like speech and religion protected by the 1st Amendment, while civil rights protect against discriminatory treatment protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments. Over time, Supreme Court decisions have applied most Bill of Rights protections to states through selective incorporation of the 14th Amendment's due process clause. Legislation like the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 also aimed to protect citizens from discrimination in areas like public accommodations, housing, employment, and voting. However, private discrimination remained an issue addressed by expanding the interpretation of federal powers like the Commerce Clause.
Chapter Thirteen: The First Amendment Explained.
The document provides an overview of key aspects of the First Amendment, including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government. It discusses important Supreme Court cases that have helped define the scope and limitations of these freedoms, such as Gitlow v. New York which incorporated the Bill of Rights to apply to state laws. Key principles are explained, such as how the Establishment Clause prohibits the government from establishing an official religion but protects voluntary religious expression, and how the Free Exercise Clause prevents undue government interference with religious practices.
Public policy presentation
This presentation discusses protecting free speech and the First Amendment on social media. It outlines how social media has become a public forum for speech, and reviews court cases establishing free speech protections. However, some speech like threats, incitement to violence, and harassment are not protected. The presentation considers how to balance protecting free speech rights while limiting hate speech and misinformation that could lead to real-world harm. Potential solutions discussed include establishing clear government guidelines on acceptable speech and content moderation, though unregulated speech is still strongly protected under law. The conclusion is that free speech is fundamental but some restrictions may be needed to prevent intrusion on others' rights.
Freedom of Speech
This document analyzes student expression and the First Amendment. It discusses landmark Supreme Court cases like Tinker v. Des Moines that established students' right to free speech. While schools can reasonably regulate speech, they cannot suppress ideas or opinions without valid reason. The document examines how subsequent court rulings have interpreted and applied Tinker in cases related to student journalism, offensive speech, and free expression at public versus private institutions. Courts continue grappling with balancing students' rights with schools' responsibilities to educate youth.
First amendment
The document presents a debate on the right to freedom of speech. Those against freedom of speech argue that it can lead to dangerous physical acts if speeches support riots or destruction, and that unjust uses can cause disruption in education. Those for it say it allows people to communicate thoughts and opinions to improve society, and that limiting it means no one could say what they think. The debate discusses what freedom of speech is, limits to it, Supreme Court cases related to it, and reasons both for and against it.
Education is a hallmark of civic life in America, so it’s no surpr.docx
Education is a hallmark of civic life in America, so it’s no surprise that it’s been at the center of many landmark controversies over the years. Here are 10 Supreme Court cases related to education that impacted both constitutional law and the public school experience.
10. Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
Arguably the most well-known ruling of the 20th century, Brown overturned Plessy v. Fergusonand established that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” The Warren Court’s unanimous decision explained that the separate-but-equal doctrine violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and ordered an end to legally mandated race-segregated schools. While the Brown decision marked only the beginning of a prolonged struggle to achieve actual integration, its impact cannot be understated.
9. Engel v. Vitale(1962) and 8. Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)
This pair of cases shaped the modern understanding of how the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment constrains prayer in public schools. In Engel, the Court struck down a New York State rule that allowed public schools to hold a short, nondenominational prayer at the beginning of the school day. The Court decided that these prayers amounted to an “official stamp of approval” upon one particular kind of prayer and religious service, and said that, since teachers are agents of the federal government, the scheme violated the Establishment Clause.
The reasoning in Engel was also applied in Schempp, in which the Court struck down a Pennsylvania policy that required all students to read 10 Bible verses and say the Lord’s Prayer at the beginning of each day. While a student could get an exemption with a parent’s note, the Warren Court decided that this still amounted to an unconstitutional government endorsement of a particular religious tradition.
7. Lemon v. Kurtzman(1971)
This case adjudicated a different sort of Establishment Clause challenge, where the controversy dealt with a statute providing financial support for teacher salaries and textbooks in parochial schools. The Burger Court unanimously decided that this financial aid scheme violated the Establishment Clause and delineated the governing precedent for Establishment Clause cases known as the Lemon test. Under Lemon, statutes (1) must have a secular legislative purpose; (2) must have primary effects that neither inhibit nor advance religion; and (3) cannot foster an “excessive government entanglement with religion.” The Court held that this scheme violated the third prong of the Lemon test.
6. Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972)
Among the litany of public school cases from the Warren and Burger eras is the landmark Free Exercise Clause decision in Yoder. Wisconsin mandated that all children attend public school until age 16, but Jonas Yoder, a devoutly religious Amish man, refused to send his children to school past eighth grade. He argued that his children didn’t need to be in school that long t ...
First Amendment Rights Printer Friendly
The document discusses several landmark Supreme Court cases related to First Amendment rights:
1) Schenck v US (1919) upheld the conviction of a man for distributing pamphlets urging men not to register for the draft, finding that his speech presented a "clear and present danger."
2) Engle v Vitale (1962) ruled that a school district policy of reciting a non-denominational prayer in class violated the Establishment Clause by placing undue pressure on students.
3) Tinker v Desmoines (1969) established that students have a First Amendment right to wear black armbands in school in silent protest as long as it does not substantially disrupt education.
Freedom of the press; amendment 1
The First Amendment establishes 5 fundamental freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition the government. It was enacted due to past governments suppressing peoples' opinions and the limits on speech in England at the time of the 13 colonies. It addresses citizens' rights to free speech and expression that can be exercised today through social media and protests.
Media law
The document discusses various laws and regulations related to freedom of the press in the United States. It covers the First Amendment protections for press freedom and debates around balancing it with other interests. Various government attempts to restrict the press throughout history are outlined, along with Supreme Court cases related to prior restraint, obscenity, libel, privacy, and access to information. Regulations for broadcast media and debates around censorship are also summarized.

It describes how Hitler rapidly expanded German territory through rearmament, remilitarization of the Rhineland, and annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. In August 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union surprisingly signed a non-aggression pact to allow Germany to invade Poland unopposed. Germany then swiftly defeated Western European nations through the tactic of blitzkrieg to occupy France, Netherlands, and much of Western Europe by June 1940.

Michigans first people
The three main Native American tribes that inhabited Michigan prior to European colonization were the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi tribes, collectively known as the Anishnabeg. This term means "original people" or "first people" in their language. The Anishnabeg migrated to Michigan to take advantage of the natural resources, living off the land by hunting game and gathering wild rice and maple syrup. They had close-knit family structures and moved between seasonal camps using birch bark canoes along the extensive system of lakes and rivers in the dense forests that then covered Michigan.
