15-03-2012 03:44 URGENT! OBAMA Signs Anti-Protest Bill - FREE SPEECH & Protest will get you JAIL TIME! The First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from infringing upon the freedom of speech, the freedom of association and the freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Speech is language and other forms of expression; and association and petition connote physical presence in reasonable proximity to those of like mind and to government officials, so as to make your opinions known to them. The Declaration of Independence recognizes all three freedoms as stemming from our humanity. So, what happens if you can speak freely, but the government officials at whom your speech is aimed refuse to hear you? And what happens if your right to associate and to petition the government is confined to areas where those of like mind and the government are not present? This is coming to a street corner near you. Certain rights, like thought and privacy and travel, can be exercised on their own. You don't need the government to cooperate with you; you just need to be left alone. Other rights, like those intended to influence the political process, require that the government not resist your exercise of them. Remember the old one-liner from Philosophy 101: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make any noise? Here's the contemporary version of that: If you can criticize the government, but it refuses to hear you, does your exercise of the freedom of ...

URGENT! OBAMA Signs Anti-Protest Bill - FREE SPEECH

(March 15, 2012) Editor:

If Marcy Burstiners daughter really has a message that she wants to disseminate to the masses (Take the Money and Run With It, March 1), there isnt a damn thing a decision of the Supreme Court can do to stop her. All she needs is a Twitter account.

Twitter rivals the printing press as one of the great revolutionary tools in human communication. Setting up an account is free, as is access to the Internet in the first place (through the use of computers at the Humboldt County Library). Anything you tweet can be seen by any person on the planet with an Internet connection and a computer.

If Burstiners daughter has even half the analytical, persuasive and writing skills that her mom posseses, shell start amassing followers rapidly. To use Marcys example, her daughter could use Twitter to organize other young people who can articulate why mass homework and short recess periods are destructive. Inevitably, adults like myself would start noticing these Twitter discussions, and we would join in. An expanded public discussion of homework and recess, outside the Twitter framework, would soon follow.

Burstiner laments that her daughter can do no better than spreading a message to the viewers of Community Access Television. Marcys wrong. Her daughter can reach the whole world through Twitter. #Twitteris4kids2

While few critics contested the right of conference organizers, the schools Black Student Union, to invite Farrakhan, many condemned the choice, and bemoaned the bully pulpit given the rabble-rousing Farrakhan to spread his message of hate.

The appearance in a packed 700-seat auditorium, billed as a speech about black empowerment, contained anti-Semitic and hate speech, according to students who spoke to the Daily Californian, the campus student newspaper. A petition signed by more than 350 people was circulated after the speech by Jewish student leaders, opposing Farrakhans speech and character, but not the BSUs right to bring him to the school, according to that publication.

Louis Farrakhan

It made this conference a lightning rod, and that detracted from it, he said.

Nancy Appel, director of the ADL for the San Francisco region, also condemned Farrakhans appearance, while upholding the groups right to invite the fiery minister.

For over thirty years, Louis Farrakhan has been notorious as a purveyor of hate against Jews, whites, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, among others, Appel said in a press release. It is unconscionable for the organizers of the ABC Conference to have honored him with this invitation to address their annual gathering. Granting Farrakhan this privilege is a slap in the face to all members of the diverse U.C. Berkeley community who strive to make their campus as inclusive and welcoming as possible for everyone.

The statement also called on campus administrators to unequivocally condemn Farrakhans hate mongering.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there were no protesters outside Wheeler Auditorium during Farrakhans speech, and only one protester afterward, student senator Noah Ickowitz.

Ickowitz told the Chronicle that Farrakhan had every right to appear on campus, and that he, in turn, had a right to protest a speech he saw as advocating black empowerment at the expense of other groups.

Free speech examined at Dominican University

LEES SUMMIT, Mo. Is a high school blog free speech? Lees Summit North High School decided no when it suspended twin brothers in December for six months. Now, the boys parents, Brian and Linda Wilson, are suing the Lees Summit School District on behalf of their sons to get the boys reinstated immediately.

In their Federal Lawsuit the Wilson boys admit posting a blog that called a fellow female student a derogatory term. Another unidentified student used racist and vulgar terms in a posting that was made without the twins permission. The two students, both juniors, claim they shouldnt be held responsible for what someone else posted. They also believe what they wrote on a home computer during after-school hours is protected free speech.

In their lawsuit, the Wilson boys claims to receive A and B grades and are both active in the school marching band. Now they say their hopes for College band scholarships are in jeopardy if they arent reinstated immediately.

School officials are able to censor private student speech but if its off-campus its pretty much protected broadly by the First Amendment protections, said Professor Daniel Weddle with the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School

A Federal Judge will listen to arguments by attorneys for the Wilson family on Monday March 19th. Attorneys for the Lees Summit School District will go before the same judge next Wednesday.
