1. I learned a great deal more about the different rights in the first amendment.
2. I learned the appropriate way to handle different situations involving the first amendment.
3. I learned more about different court cases involving the rights listed in the first amendment.
The first amendment rights still apply to highschool newspapers, so the school can't censor us.
There is a difference between public and private highschools.
Morose v. Fredrick does not prevent educators from suppressing student speech, at a school-supervised event, that is reasonably viewed as promoting illegal drug use.

1. The Constitution was signed in 1787 but the Bill of Rights wasn't added until 1791.
2. There is a case about student drug rights in 2007 nicknamed "Bong Hits 4 Jesus."
3. Anti-Federalists would not sign the Constitution unless a Bill of Rights was added.
Take-Aways:
1. The US government censored books in high schools. This is shocking to me.
2. Court decisions take a long time, and a lot of news and truth can be lost in the interim.
3. There are restrictions to freedom of speech, such as a defendants right to a fair trial.
1. I learned what I can and cannot do as a high school journalist.
2. I learned more about the first amendment and the important rights it gives Americans.
3. I learned about all the precedents set by pervious court cases regarding first amendment rights.
1. The administrator can censor student material for a really good educational reason.
2. The Constitutional Convention made the Bill of Rights after the Constitution.
3. Just because a student's view is different than a state view does not mean the administrator can edit it out.
