Freedom
Have you ever wondered what life at school would be like without "freedom?" In myopinion I think it would be horrid. Think about it. If we had no freedom we wouldn't be able to do the things we love most, or choose what friends we hang out with. The freedoms we have now we all take for granted. For example, do you even know what your freedoms are? If you don't, then you ought to hear me out so you know in the future what they mean. First of all there are two very specific freedoms that all students and teachers should know and understand. These two freedoms are the very basis for our society.Freedom of speech is one of the most important freedoms we have because if we didn't have this one we wouldn't be able to speak our minds through speeches in public. This freedom allows us to speak in more ways than one. It allows us to express ourselves through reading, writing, and speaking. Although freedom of speech has its greatness in many ways, it also has a downfall, in which it is abused. For example: Media today can twist this freedom to invade your privacy, which is not a good thing if you're Arnold Shwartzenegger getting out of the shower, and someone takes a picture of you naked an
Also, teachers believing this outlandish myth have sometimes refused to accept homework with religious content. " Word Count: 1034. Our society as a whole is depicted as being boiled in an endless culture war over public education. The gains of this freedom allow you not only to speak your own opinions, but allows you to take it a step further. Unfortunately, parents, schools officials, and politicians alike sometimes act as if the myth were fact. She wrote, "Lillian Gobits Vs Minersville District, in 1940 led some West Virginians to punish Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse to have their children recite the Pledge of Allegiance in school. A myth, repeated often enough that it takes a hold on peoples imaginations and is all but impossible to get rid of. An example of this was written by Rebecca Jones from the American Schoolboard Journal. A long time ago teachers and students were limited by a strict theme of rules and guidelines, but today we have a new challenge. Some people ag-on this myth with well-intentioned, but simply wrong statements about what the constitution does and does not permit. Some schools mistakenly support some segments of the religious community when they permit (unconstitutional) state-sponsored prayer, such as allowing coaches to pray with their teams, as long as they excuse students who do not want to pray. But most of the time this sinerio doesn't occur because they've come up with laws like the "Privacy Act," and so on so this sort of mayhem doesn't happen, but even though laws are made people still break them. In other words it's more denied than abused. House speaker Newt Gingrich, for example, announced a while back that under current law students could not pray in the schools cafeteria.
