First Amendment taking a beating in Indiana



Link


Okay, I admit it.

I tend to be a First Amendment absolutist.

Can't abide by folks who want to restrict or prohibit expression that is not libelous, obscene, violence inciting, pornographic or that invades someone's privacy.

Just purely "offensive expression" or highly sensitive/controversial expression should not be suppressed or punished.

But that's what is happening to journalism adviser Amy Sorrell at Woodland Junior-Senior High School in Indiana.

The school's administration wants her fired.

But for what?

Potentially offensive expression?

Read about it in the above link.
