Free-Speech Follies

This article is about the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and how so many times people come close to limiting and infringing one another's rights. For instance, burning a cross on a black family's lawn or by contributing millions to a candidate or vilifying Jerry Falwell and his mother in a parody and yelling "First Amendment," to get away with it because of the freedom of speech. The case of rejection of text to articles in a tribune such as the Illini and the case of whether or not jews should be segregated to prevent another holocaust or even an instance in which self-sensoring becomes an issue or a Professor or first amendment hero of the Harvard
English department rescinding one of it's faculty because of personal opinion.
