Students were reminded that reading of the text 550-553 is due next class.
Students were given the ADDITIONAL homework assignment of bringing (at least) one page (draft is ok) of their 1st Amendment Guidebook to next class. If the guidebook is going to be electronic, it bring a printed cell or page.
The class then had a mini-lecture on some of the 1st Amendment speech rights and their limits (covered in pages 546-550 of text).
The lecture covered the concepts of protecting expression of unpopular ideas and freedom for thought we hate.
We discussed the limits placed on libel or slander; sedition; and obscentity. The class reviewed the Miller v. California test for obscentity.
The class discussed the prohibition against "Prior Restraint."
Students broke into groups in order to begin studying five 1st Amendment cases about speech. The class will jigsaw these next class.
