Maggie's Corner - Free Speech

In this lesson, students will explore the concept of free speech as protected by the First Amendment, including how it applies in schools. Through real-life scenarios and the landmark case Tinker v. Des Moines, students will learn that expressing opinions—verbally or through clothing—is a form of speech, as long as it’s not disruptive. They will also practice respectful dialogue by sharing and discussing differing opinions with others.
