The Importance of Free Speech in Schools

The university is an era when most people have undergone major changes and are starting to look for new perspectives. Creating more independence, creating new insights and changing peers' influence is an important element for changing personal perspectives. Students face new ideas from professors, families and associates. Through the knowledge gained, many students decide whether they agree or disagree with what they teach. Accepting "freedom of speech" on public university campus is an important issue that many public universities are beginning to deal with.

News reports on restrictions on freedom of speech at school and the desire of some public universities to hold those "freedom of speech" caused a lot of discussion and litigation in recent years. In March 2017, Kevin Shaw (left), a student at Pierce College in California, appealed the Public Community College because the administrator was unable to distribute copies of the Spanish Constitution. The show was not in the area of ​​freedom of speech designated by the university then and did not receive a school license to seek literature.

As the university president and first revised expert Robert M. O'Neil wrote in his book "Freedom of Speech in the College Community", the fate of freedom of speech on public campus is becoming increasingly important The controversy is continuing. It is getting bigger and bigger, which is usually more supportive. Openness of the 20th Century Recently the most controversial issue involved the development of so-called verbal code aimed at restricting certain statements the government thought to be uncomfortable.

Freedom of expression is extremely important in any democracy, but setting restrictions is equally important. In order to avoid confusion in our society we need to impose certain restrictions on freedom of speech. Of course, restricting freedom of speech is not to exclude freedom of speech. When we live in such a restricted world, this discussion continues, the opposite is shared and the idea is challenged.

I believe that schools should be able to limit specific aspects of freedom of expression. Because the Supreme Court of the United States declares a specific expression form that is not protected by the first amendment. Certain types of speech decided by the Supreme Court are not protected by the first amendment. As students need to learn ways to express their opinions, students' freedom of speech should not be restricted. Students will not abandon their rights at school gates. School boards need to know that totalitarian does not improve things. The voice of the child is the main factor of the future of the world. Restricting children's freedom of speech will bring totalitarian to teachers and board members. The definition of "totalitarian" in the dictionary is "a centralized and authoritarian government system that needs to be fully dependent on the state", or in this case the school.
