1st Amendment Rights
So the first amendment gives us the rights to freedom of religion, speech, press, assemble peaceably, and the right to petition the government. This amendment is limited in schools. I agree that it should be limited to schools. I agree because if you voice your religious opinion in school and others don't agree with you then there would be a big argument which would harm the school environment as well as your ability to learn. I do think that school newspapers should be able to report on any issues they want to, just as long as the article is unbiased and doesn't offend anybody. I think this because if the newspaper wishes to report on real news then they should have the right to do so. This is a right whether it is in school or in the media. Although I don't believe that people should voice personal opinions in school I think they should have the right to have those rights. For example if a kid practices Islam then he shouldn't have to dissect a cow heart if he doesn't want to. This doesn't bring unnecessary conflict to the school area, but the kid still has the right to practice his religion. So in conclusion people should have the ability to practice their ideas so long as it does not offend or hurt other students ability to learn.
