3 part question on 1st Amend. Rights to Free Speech

Part one--describe a situation that would make you want to stand up for your right to free speech. (What would really get you fired up?
For ex. maybe there is something you would like to see changed here at school?)
Part two--A friend asks you to wear an arm band this Friday to show your support for all US troops around the world--would you do it?....yes or no and then tell us why.
Part three--comment on 2 other messages from your classmates......It's your right!!!!!!!!

  3. Open campus - It would be a good thing because the school wouldnt have to make so much food.

    Depends - because its not a important fact to me but if i had a family member or someone close to me in war i would

  4. Opting out of semester tests if you have a B or higher in the class and have missed less than 3 days of the class.

    and yes i would because they are fighting for us and making our life better so why not show our support.

  5. I agree, Kim, Open campus shouldn't be taken away because of a few

  6. 1. Not having to take a semester test if you have a certain grade in a class. Being able to not take tests would encourage those to work harder for a better grade throughout the semester.
    2. Yes, our troops need to be supported and acknowledged by everyone.

  7. PART ONE - I think that we should be able to have cell phones in the hallways, study halls, and lunch break. As long as we are not using are cell phone during class it shouldn't matter. And even though now you say that we aren't suppose to use cell phones most kids do.

    PART TWO - Yes because we should be able to support are troops in that way if we would like.

    PART THREE - I would agree with Kim that we should be able to have open campus. Give us a chance we weren't the ones that screwed up in the first place.

  8. The ability to have access to websites that have been taken away. Individual students should be punished for not being able to obey the rules, not the whole student body.
    I would where the armband only if it was perfectly alright with the school or I would look for other ways to support them.

  9. Troops should definitely be supported

  10. I don't like the fact that open campus is limited and the fact that if we have an A in the class then we still have to take the semester test. If we have an A in the class then i think we have proved ourselves enough by getting good grades in the classes.
    Yes i would because I fully support our troops but also because I really think that the war is bogus and we have no real reason for having the war

  11. 1. if they didn't let us have open campus for the whole year and they wouldn't let us have our cell phones in school.
    2. yes I would wear it because i'm supporting something that i believe in and it's something that I want to do and I don't think anyone but me should make that decision.

  12. Uniforms would not be liked by 90% of the students. You are taking away individuality.

    Open Campus would be a great thing if students wouldn't abuse it and take it for granted!!

  13. I would like our state government to allow schools to have normal pop and food in our lounge because as a right we should be able to eat or drink anything that we want.

    Yes I would because it is something worth fighting for and we are just voicing our opinion which is perfectly legal.

  14. I also think having open campus is something that i would fight for.
    Yes because its good to support the troops.

  15. not having to take semester tests would be great! I would only have to take a few tests meaning less gas wasted on taking tests that I are a review to me :D

    I don't like the idea of uniforms, I like to be able to dress up if I want to or dress down if i would like to.

  16. Matt i totally agree with you because the limited websites sometimes makes it hard to do research, last year i had to do weaponry of world war two for a project and i had to figure out ways around the filters.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think the semester test idea is good, but I think that it should be an A. And also you are going to have some complaints to that because some pple are trying there hardest and the highest grade they can get is a B or a C.

    ReplyDelete
  18. 1. open campus for the whole year if there is no need for us to be here we should be able to leave and go to a part time job or something
    2.yes i would if it is for a good cause

    ReplyDelete
  19. uniforms does not sound good to me because being in a public school you should be allowed to dress the way you want to and express yourself and individuality

    ReplyDelete
  20. I agree Alisa if you have a certain grade in a class like a B or something higher than that you shouldn't have to take the test because no matter how you do on the test you'll pass the class anyways.

    I agree Matt with the websites because some of us didn't abuse the websites like others did so it shouldn't be fair that since a few people abused the websites and everybody in the whole school looses it.

  21. I agree with Matt because the people that did the wrong should be the one to be punished, not the whole school body....

    I agree with Kim as well we didnt mess it up in the first place....plus sorry i wasnt here but i was really shocked that you didnt have it...

  22. Part 1 - Uniforms

    Part 2 - I probably would. Even though a lot of people, including me, think war is wrong, we should still show support for our troops. They are risking their lives ya know.

  23. jay beaus rite we should definately be able to have cell phones there is no reason we shouldn't have them

    and opting out of semester tests should be a definate

    ReplyDelete
  24. I agree with alisa. I think that makes sense because you have already proven that you are smart enough to have an A throughout the whole semester so why should you have to take the test.
    I also agree with jenn. I dont think it is necessary for us to be in Iraq anymore.

  25. i personally am not in support of the whole uniforms thing.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would want to stand up for open campus because I don't think that it is right that we should be punished for something that other people screwed up that was approximately seven years ago. I would wear and arm band with my friend if I had also that same opinion on the reason to wear the arm band.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think that we should be able to use cell phones in school as long as we are responsible with them. if one person ruins it i don't think the whole group should get the privileges taken away.

    i would wear an arm band because the troops are fighting for our freedom.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Part 1. not having to take semester tests if in both quarters u receive an A....
    Part 2. yes I would wear an arm band because the troops are fighting for us and our freedom
    Part 3. I definitely wouldn't want to wear a school uniform and I agree with Kim.. open campus would be a good thing, if one person messes it up.. they should be punished not all of us..

    ReplyDelete
  29. 1) I think we should have open campus
    2) yes i would because they are risking their lives for us.
    3) i don't agree on the uniforms..

    ReplyDelete
  30. I agree with cody on the fact that we should be able to have the regular pop because I think that we are able to figure out what we want to eat and they shouldn't band that.
    I also agree with the non uniform thing. I wear sweat pants a lot and I wouldn't want to be in a uniform everyday.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think that we should get open campus because it's not fair that we can't have it because a couple people messed up a few years ago.
    I would wear it because I think that we need to support our troops.
    I think that the semester test thing is good if we have an A in the class

  32. I think we should get to have open campus because I don't think that we should be punished for something people screwed up so long ago. I would wear a arm ban with my friends if I had also had the same beliefs on the reason to wear the arm band.

    ReplyDelete
  33. i agree with kim and alisa. Open campus is a way to get a break from school. I think we should be able to opt out of semester test if we have a certain grade. We have proved ourselves throughout the year.

  34. PART 1 i would like to have open campus so students can eat at home or thay can eat food that the local restrants this would give students the ability to eat what thay want instead of having the school food provided
    PART 2 I would support the troop worldwide although i do not support the reasons why thay are in some areas of the world
    PART 3 I dont like zachs ideas of uniforms because it forces people into a collective and doesnt let anyone express individulism, i agree with kims idea of open campus because we shouldnt be punished for something that we havent done

    ReplyDelete
  35. PART ONE- I think we should be able to have pop or any kind of food in lounge. We're all in high school and we should be responsible for whether we're healthy or not. It shouldn't be a concern that we're getting overweight just from eating and drinking that in lounge, because I don't think that's really the issue.

    PART TWO-Yes I would. I would want to support our troops. I wouldn't have a problem expressing my feelings.

    PART THREE-Matt Baughman said...
    The ability to have access to websites that have been taken away. Individual students should be punished for not being able to obey the rules, not the whole student body.
    ---------------------------------------------------
    I agree with this, we should be able to have access to most websites.

    1.a new rule, issuing uniforms

    I think this would anger many students if we had to wear uniforms.

  36. Having regular pop in the student lounge instead of diet pop, some people are allergic to the ingredients in diet pop.

    i would support the troops even if i didn't agree with the cause

    ReplyDelete
  37. First- The situation is like when we have pop or soda in class. I mean we pay for it with our own money and then we're not able to drink them in class. We can have water but not a fruit drink. We've already have had the regular soda taken what more is there to do.
    Second- Yes I would, because I would wear it to support our troops and show that the war is effecting all of us.
    Third-I agree with the open campus and cell phones

    ReplyDelete
  38. uniforms are a bad idea, individuality is a must

    and getting out of semester tests if you have an A would take alot of stress off of students

    ReplyDelete
  39. 1. open campus because we should each get a shot at showing our responsibility
    2. yes because it shows that i support the troops because i have family members in the military
    i agree with alisa and jacki about not having to take semester tests

    ReplyDelete
  40. One thing I would stand up for is being able to use cell phones in school. I think that we should be able to use our cell phones between classes and I also think that we should be able to use cell phones during lunch hour. I think that we should also be able to have cell phones in the classroom as long as we dont use them when the teacher is talking or when we are doing homework.
