Free Speech Questions

Freedom of Speech Opinion

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, blah, blah, blah.


As we discuss Freedom of Speech, answer the following bad boys.

1) Should freedom of speech be absolute?

2) List specific kinds of speech you would be willing to limit:

3) Do we have too much freedom of speech in our country?

4) Should the government be allowed to restrict sizes of demonstrations and/or charge fees? 

5) Should the Nuremberg Files web site be legal? (Don't look it up.  This website compared abortion to Nazi war crimes and provided the home addresses of doctors who provided abortion services.)

6) Should the Westboro Baptist Church be allowed to protest funerals?
