30 YEARS AGO, AMERICA'S CABLE COMPANIES CREATED C-SPAN AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. TODAY, C-SPAN IS THE POLITICAL... |
| 00:00:42 |
|
THIS IS C-SPAN AND "AMERICA AND THE COURTS." 40 YEARS AGO, THE SUPREME COURT HANDED DOWN A LANDMARK... |
| 00:01:19 |
|
WE ARE JOINED BY MARY BETH STEGER, ONE OF THE STUDENTS FROM THE CASE. WHAT WAS THIS CASE ABOUT? |
| 00:01:28 |
|
IT WAS A LANDMARK DECISION. THE COURT DECIDED THAT STUDENTS DO HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO SPEAK IN SCHOOL,... |
| 00:01:49 |
|
THE SCHOOLHOUSE GATE IS IMPORTANT, WHY? |
| 00:01:56 |
|
STUDENTS HAVE EXERCISED THEIR FREE-SPEECH ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SCHOOL, BUT NOW WE HAVE CASES... |
| 00:02:44 |
|
LET'S GO BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED. SET THE SCENE FOR US. WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT THIS TIME? YOUR 13... |
| 00:02:57 |
|
THE YEAR WAS 1965. I WAS LIVING AND ORDINARY LIFE IN DES MOINES, IOWA, IN THE MIDWEST. I WAS CONCERNED... |
| 00:05:23 |
|
SO YOU DECIDED TO WEAR WHAT TO SCHOOL, AND WHOSE DECISION WAS IT THAT YOU WOULD WEAR THIS TO SCHOOL?... |
| 00:05:30 |
|
ALL OF US KIDS TOGETHER DECIDED WHAT TO DO. SOME THOUGHT WE SHOULD WHERE ALL BLACK CLOTHES, THEN WE... |
| 00:06:40 |
|
BUT YOU WENT AHEAD ANYWAY. |
| 00:06:42 |
|
THAT IS WHEN YOU HAVE A DILEMMA. WHEN I GO OUT AND TALK TO KIDS ABOUT THESE ISSUES, WHEN THERE IS... |
| 00:07:17 |
|
AND WHAT HAPPENED? |
| 00:07:19 |
|
WHEN WE GOT TO SCHOOL, THE KIDS WERE CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE. I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS,... |
| 00:07:56 |
|
WHAT IS FREE SPEECH IN THIS CASE, AS MARY BETH TINKER JUST LAID OUT THE CASE? |
| 00:08:03 |
|
THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECT FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THERE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH IT CAN BE LIMITED,... |
| 00:08:19 |
|
WHAT TYPES OF SPEECH FALL UNDER THIS UMBRELLA? |
| 00:08:27 |
|
BUT THE COURT DECIDED WAS THAT SPEECH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL ARE SUBSTANTIAL DISRUPTION TO... |
| 00:08:54 |
|
THE STUDENTS HAVE FREE SPEECH BEFORE THIS CAME TO COURT? |
| 00:08:59 |
|
THERE WAS A CASE ABOUT A GROUP OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESS STUDENTS WHO DID NOT WANT TO SALUTE THE FLAG.... |
| 00:09:45 |
|
LET'S LISTEN TO A LITTLE BIT FROM TINKER VERSUS THE MORNING. THIS IS AN EXCHANGE FROM YOUR TURNING... |
| 00:09:56 |
|
THE SITUATION AND THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THIS SPECIFIC REGULATION DIRECTED ONLY TOWARD ONE SPECIFIC... |
| 00:10:45 |
|
A NARROWER REGULATION SAYS THAT YOU MAY NOT WEAR BANDS OR BUTTONS OR PLACARDS IN THAT CLASSROOM WOULD... |
| 00:10:56 |
|
NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE SO, YOUR HONOR. I HAVE TO BE CANDID WITH THE COURT. |
| 00:11:07 |
|
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE TO SUSTAIN THAT POSITION IN THIS COURT? |
| 00:11:11 |
|
THEY ARE BAD REGULATION IN THIS CASE WAS DIRECTED TO WEARING THE ARM AND ANY TIME IN THE SCHOOL. THEY... |
| 00:11:44 |
|
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BRING THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT? |
| 00:11:52 |
|
I GUESS WE HAD LEARNED IN SCHOOL ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AND WE FELT IT SHOULD... |
| 00:12:32 |
|
HOW DID IT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT? |
| 00:12:36 |
|
IT WENT TO THE DISTRICT COURT FIRST, AND THEN IT WENT TO THE APPEALS COURT, WHICH WAS DIVIDED. THE... |
| 00:13:09 |
|
WE HEARD JUSTICE WHITE TALKING ABOUT BEING DISRUPTIVE AND TESTING OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. WHAT WAS... |
| 00:13:23 |
|
THE COURT DID NOT PROVIDE BRIGHT LINE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED A DISRUPTION IN WHAT IS NOT.... |
| 00:13:49 |
|
WERE THE ARMBANDS AS DISRUPTIVE, ART HOW DID THEY DEFINE DISRUPTIVE? |
| 00:13:58 |
|
THE SPEECH IN THIS CASE WAS WEARING THE ARMBANDS. |
| 00:14:04 |
|
TALK ABOUT THE FIVE OTHER STUDENTS. NOT ALL OF THEM WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL, SO HOW DID YOU MEET UP... |
| 00:14:12 |
|
WE WERE ALL INVOLVED IN A YOUTH GROUP THROUGH THE UNITARIAN CHURCH. WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH EACH ... |
| 00:14:44 |
|
MERE APPREHENSION OR FEAR OF DISRUPTION WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY ADMINISTRATORS' CENSORING OF... |
| 00:14:55 |
|
WHAT WAS THE REACTION OF YOUR COMMUNITY? |
| 00:14:58 |
|
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WERE SUPPORTIVE AND CALLED IT AND GAVE US POSE COURTS -- POSTCARDS. I HAVE ONE... |
| 00:15:38 |
|
I WAS UPSET. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALIZE HOW CRAZY AND DANGEROUS SOME PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE. A... |
| 00:16:16 |
|
DID YOU EVER THINK YOU DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT? |
| 00:16:23 |
|
MY PARENTS DID NOT TELL US TO WHERE THE ARMBANDS, BUT ONCE WE DID, THEY SUPPORTED US AND STOOD BEHIND... |
| 00:16:36 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR FATHER NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH IT? |
| 00:16:40 |
|
HE THOUGHT WE SHOULD TRY TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD MORE TO SEE IF WE COULD COME TO SOME AGREEMENT,... |
| 00:17:08 |
|
IF THERE HAD BEEN A RULE THAT THE STUDENTS IN 1965 HAD TO WEAR UNIFORMS, WITH THE OUTCOME OF THIS... |
| 00:17:22 |
|
IF THEY HAD TO WEAR A UNIFORM, AND OUTSIDE THE UNIFORM, ANYTHING ELSE WAS IT RESTRICTED, WHAT SORT... |
| 00:17:36 |
|
INTERESTINGLY, SCHOOL UNIFORMS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN UPHELD BY LOWER COURTS. THE REASON SCHOOLS IMPLEMENT... |
| 00:18:12 |
|
WE HAVE A CLIP OF THE OPENING ARGUMENTS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. |
| 00:18:23 |
|
THE RESPONDENTS BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO BASIC ISSUES INVOLVED HERE. THE FIRST, THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS... |
| 00:20:37 |
|
THE ATTORNEY FOR THE SCHOOL IN THIS CASE. WHAT WAS AT THE HEART OF HIS ARGUMENT HERE? |
| 00:20:47 |
|
IT WAS THE VERY IMPORTANT DUTY IN FUNCTION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TO ENSURE THERE IS ORDER IN SCHOOLS.... |
| 00:21:13 |
|
THE STUDENT'S LEGAL ARGUMENT WAS WHAT? |
| 00:21:16 |
|
THEY HAD OF FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO ARTICULATE THEIR VIEWS ARE EXPRESSED THEIR VIEWS, AND THAT THEY... |
| 00:21:34 |
|
THE COURT NOTED THAT THE SCHOOL BANNED ARMBANDS BUT ALLOW OTHER FORMS OF POLITICAL DISCUSSION SUCH... |
| 00:21:46 |
|
IT SEEMED UNFAIR. IT SEEMED WE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS OURSELVES FOR PEACE. THAT IS WHAT... |
| 00:21:57 |
|
WHAT WAS YOUR ATTORNEY ARGUING IN THIS CASE? |
| 00:22:02 |
|
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE FREE- SPEECH RIGHTS AND THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ONE... |
| 00:22:23 |
|
IF THE SCHOOL HAD BANNED ALL FORMS OF SYMBOLIC EXPRESSION, WHICH THEY HAVE HAD A STRONGER CASE? |
| 00:22:31 |
|
PERHAPS THEY WOULD HAVE, BECAUSE THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE VIEWPOINT OF DISCRIMINATION. ONE PURPOSE... |
| 00:22:57 |
|
HAD THIS EXPERIENCE CHANGE YOUR VIEW ON FREE SPEECH? |
| 00:23:00 |
|
IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT THE CONSTITUTION COMES ALIVE WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO ACTION. THAT IS A WAY TO... |
| 00:23:31 |
|
TELLS ABOUT THE PEN IN YOUR LAPEL. |
| 00:23:35 |
|
IS A PICTURE OF THURGOOD MARSHALL, WHO LOVED YOUNG PEOPLE. HE WAS THE ATTORNEY IN THE BROWN DECISION,... |
| 00:24:01 |
|
HOW OFTEN DO YOU TALK TO STUDENTS, AND WHERE YOU GO? |
| 00:24:06 |
|
I AM GOING TO OHIO AND INDIANA SOON TO TALK TO STUDENTS ABOUT NEWSPAPER ISSUES. SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE... |
| 00:24:37 |
|
DO YOU TELL THEM THEY SHOULD GO TO COURT? YOU WERE 13 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. HOW DO YOU TALK TO YOUNGER... |
| 00:24:53 |
|
WHEN KIDS ASK WHAT THEY CAN DO TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES, I ADVISED THEM TO GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER... |
| 00:25:26 |
|
I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE MARY BETH SPEAK TO STUDENTS. THEY ALWAYS COME AWAY WITH THE SENSE OF... |
| 00:25:49 |
|
LET'S LISTEN TO A LITTLE MORE. HERE IS DAN JOHNSTON, YOUR ATTORNEY AND JUSTICE HUGO BLACK FROM THE... |
| 00:26:02 |
|
HE SEEMED TO HAVE ADMITTED SOMETHING. DO I AM UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE ADMITTED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE... |
| 00:26:29 |
|
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE I ADMITTED THAT, YOUR HONOR. |
| 00:26:33 |
|
I DIDN'T THINK YOU INTENDED TO. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORE RIGHT TO MAKE SYMBOLIC SPEECH, AND IT DOES... |
| 00:26:57 |
|
IT IS IN THE RECORD HERE THAT FREE DISCUSSION IN SCHOOL IS PERMITTED. |
| 00:27:03 |
|
WHAT YOU THINK IS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RUN YOUR SCHOOL IN THE TEACHING OF GEOMETER, HISTORY, MATHEMATICS,... |
| 00:27:27 |
|
SO LONG AS IT DOES NOT INTERRUPTER DISRUPT THE ATMOSPHERE -- |
| 00:27:42 |
|
DO YOU THINK THE CONSTITUTION PREVENTS THE SCHOOLS FROM BARRING THE DISCUSSION, PARTICULARLY OF EMOTIONAL... |
| 00:28:03 |
|
I THINK WITHIN REASON, THAT IS TRUE. |
| 00:28:08 |
|
BUT YOU WOULD NOT SAY THAT IN DOING THAT THEY CAN PICK OUT ONE PARTICULAR ISSUE AND SAY THIS, YOU... |
| 00:28:23 |
|
I WOULD SAY TODAY MAY BE THE SAME PROPOSITION COULD COME UP IF THE ATMOSPHERE WAS DIFFERENT, IT SHOULD... |
| 00:28:43 |
|
THAT WAS THE ATTORNEY FOR THE SCHOOL. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DISCUSSION ABOUT BEING DISRUPTIVE AND THE... |
| 00:29:00 |
|
BACK IN 1969, AS WELL AS TODAY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR SCHOOLS TO FUNCTION IN AN ORDERLY MANNER.... |
| 00:29:29 |
|
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE? TALK ABOUT THE RULING AND ITS IMPACT IN THE IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWING... |
| 00:29:42 |
|
IS CERTAINLY WAS A LANDMARK FIRST AMENDMENT CASE FOR STUDENTS, IN THE SENSE THAT THE COURT HELD THAT... |
| 00:30:28 |
|
DID SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HONOR THIS RULING? |
| 00:30:31 |
|
TO VARYING DEGREES. I WOULDN'T SAY THERE WAS AS MUCH RESISTANCE AS THERE WAS TO BROWN, WHERE MANY... |
| 00:30:56 |
|
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THIS CASE FOR YOU? |
| 00:31:03 |
|
I BECAME A NURSE. I WORKED MOSTLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE, AND LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER RIGHTS THAT... |
| 00:32:02 |
|
LET'S LISTEN TO A LITTLE MORE FROM DAN JOHNSTON. |
| 00:32:08 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE EXPRESSION OF AN OPINION, WHICH MIGHT ITSELF DISRUPT... |
| 00:33:47 |
|
FOR SCHOOLS AND FOR SCHOOL LAWYERS, TINKER BECAME THE FIRST POINT OF REFERENCE FOR STUDENT SPEECH... |
| 00:34:24 |
|
DID INTRODUCE LAWYERS INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? |
| 00:34:27 |
|
THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. THAT TREND HAS BECOME MORE INTENSE OVER THE YEARS.... |
| 00:35:27 |
|
SOME FOLKS LOOK AT CASES ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE AND WORRY THERE WILL BE A SLIPPERY SLOPE. IF YOU GIVE... |
| 00:35:40 |
|
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER WAYS THAT TINKER HAS AFFECTED STUDENT RIGHTS? |
| 00:35:46 |
|
IT HAS EMPOWERED THEM TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS AND HAVE SOME BOUNDARIES FOR WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED... |
| 00:35:54 |
|
HAS IT BEEN A NEGATIVE IMPACT? |
| 00:35:57 |
|
THERE IS ALWAYS A DOWNSIDE TO A DECISION. FROM A SCHOOL PERSPECTIVE, TO THE EXPECTED TINKER IS USED... |
| 00:36:44 |
|
HOW DOES RIGHTS FOR STUDENTS STACK UP AGAINST RIGHTS FOR ADULTS? |
| 00:36:51 |
|
WHEN YOU RAN THE CLUB FOR RANHERRICK, THE COURT WAS VERY ATTENTIVE TO THE CONCERNS HE LAID OUT. THE... |
| 00:37:50 |
|
WHEN YOU LOOK AT CASES NOW, SHOULD STUDENTS' RIGHTS BE ON EQUAL FOOTING INSIDE SCHOOLS AS ADULTS RIGHT... |
| 00:37:59 |
|
THERE ARE SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS INSIDE THE SCHOOL WHERE OFFICIALS ACT IN THE PLACE OF PARENTS TO... |
| 00:38:18 |
|
HOW IS IT PLAYING OUT TODAY IN SCHOOLS? |
| 00:38:21 |
|
WE HAD A SUPREME COURT DECISION IN 2007 WHERE THE SUPREME COURT IN SELF-ADDRESSED TINKER. TINKER... |
| 00:39:21 |
|
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE FREDERICK VERSUS MOORE'S CASE LATER. LET'S GO TO 1986. |
| 00:39:32 |
|
THIS CASE WAS ABOUT A YOUNG MAN WHO MADE A NOMINATING SPEECH FOR HIS FRIEND FOR STUDENT COUNCIL DURING... |
| 00:40:24 |
|
HOW DID THE TANKER CASE FROM 1969 PLAY OUT HERE? |
| 00:40:29 |
|
THE DIFFERENCE THERE IS THAT IN TINKER, IT WAS SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS... |
| 00:40:58 |
|
DID THEY MAKE A POLITICAL DISTINCTION IN THIS CASE? |
| 00:41:05 |
|
THERE ARE CERTAIN KINDS OF SPEECH THE FIRST AMENDMENT DOES NOT COVER. IN A SCHOOL CONTEXT, VULGARITY... |
| 00:41:22 |
|
THE COURT RULED THAT SCHOOLS WHAT IS THE COURT TALKING ABOUT HERE? |
| 00:41:41 |
|
THERE WAS A SENSE THAT THE SPEAK WAS -- THE SPEECH WAS NOT ARTICULATING A POINT OF VIEW IN THE SAME... |
| 00:42:15 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK? |
| 00:42:18 |
|
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF LAWMAKING THAT YOU DEAL WITH THIS PARTICULAR DISPUTE AND THESE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES,... |
| 00:42:57 |
|
WHAT OF THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS OF THE BETHEL DECISION TODAY IN SCHOOLS? |
| 00:43:03 |
|
IT HAS ESTABLISHED A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE EASY ONE IS, BOULDER AND LEWD SPEECH IS NOT PROTECTED, ... |
| 00:43:46 |
|
LET'S MOVE ON TO THIS DECISION. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WATER THEY TALKING ABOUT HERE? |
| 00:44:10 |
|
STILL IS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE SCHOOL NEWSPAPER HAD WRITTEN TWO ARTICLES TO BE PRINTED IN THE... |
| 00:45:04 |
|
WHAT DID THE COURT'S DECISION MEAN? |
| 00:45:06 |
|
IT HAD AN EFFECT. IT IS THE ONLY SUPREME COURT DECISION ABOUT STUDENT NEWSPAPERS, SO IT IS A VERY... |
| 00:45:38 |
|
THEY -- THOSE WHO DISSENT ARGUED THAT SCHOOL AGENTS CANNOT ACT AS POLITICAL THOUGHT POLICE. YOUR THOUGHTS... |
| 00:45:52 |
|
THE MAJORITY OPINION ACTUALLY ADDRESSED THIS. SCHOOL OFFICIALS MAY LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY. IT WAS... |
| 00:46:44 |
|
HOW IS THIS PLACE -- THIS CASE PLAYING OUT IN TODAY'S SCHOOLS. |
| 00:46:49 |
|
THERE ARE JOURNALS AND ADVOCATES WHO FEEL IT HERALDED AN ERA OF CENSORSHIP OF EVERY STUDENT NEWSPAPER.... |
| 00:47:26 |
|
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT IN THAT CASE? WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE WATCHING FOR? |
| 00:47:32 |
|
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS TRYING TO ARGUE THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE. TWO OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING.... |
| 00:48:08 |
|
IN 2007, HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF THE DEBORAH MORRIS CASE. |
| 00:48:18 |
|
ILLEGAL DRUGS AND THE GLORIFICATION OF THE DRUG CULTURE OR POOR FAMILIES SERIOUS PROBLEMS FOR OUR NATION.... |
| 00:48:53 |
|
IS THIS -- WHAT IS THE RULE YOU WANT US TO ADOPT IN THIS CASE? |
| 00:49:01 |
|
THE RULE THAT IT ARTICULATED IN TANKER. IT IS THAT THERE IS IN FACT THE RIGHT TO POLITICAL SPEECH,... |
| 00:49:21 |
|
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO. THIS WAS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. |
| 00:49:33 |
|
THAT IS A LEVEL OF GENERALITY THAT DOES NOT GET US VERY FAR. WHAT SPECIFICALLY DID IT DISRUPT? |
| 00:49:45 |
|
THE SCHOOL POLICY OF THE BOARD SAYS EMPHATICALLY THAT POLITICAL SPEECHES -- |
| 00:49:55 |
|
IF THAT IS THE RULE, THE SCHOOL CAN MAKE ANY RULE THAT IT ONCE, AND IT ANYONE VIOLATES IT, IT IS DISRUPTIVE... |
| 00:50:04 |
|
NOT AT ALL. THE ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS COURT AND A TANKER ARTICULATED A RULE THAT ALLOWS THE SCHOOL... |
| 00:50:27 |
|
SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A MISSION TO HAVE A GLOBAL SCHOOL. CAN THEY BANNED AMERICAN FLAGS? |
| 00:50:32 |
|
ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS CASE IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT DRUGS AND OTHER ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES. |
| 00:50:43 |
|
JOINING US NOW IS JOSEPH FREDERICK FROM CHINA. TELL US ABOUT YOUR CASE. |
| 00:50:57 |
|
ORIGINALLY, THE INCIDENT WAS PRETTY MUCH JUST A PRANK. I ORGANIZED THEM TO DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING... |
| 00:51:40 |
|
WHY DID YOU HAVE THAT SIGN, AND WHAT WAS THE MEANING BEHIND IT? |
| 00:51:50 |
|
WE MADE IT FOR -- TO HOLD UP DURING THE TORCH RELAY. |
| 00:51:54 |
|
WHAT KIND OF SPEECH WERE ADVOCATING? |
| 00:52:02 |
|
I WAS JUST EXERCISING MY RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH. THERE WAS NOT REALLY A GOAL OR POLITICAL PURPOSE FOR... |
| 00:53:51 |
|
THE SCHOOL ARGUED THAT YOUR SON PROMOTED DRUG USE. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WERE TRYING TO PROMOTE? |
| 00:53:59 |
|
MY FEELING IS THAT I THINK THE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE USE THE DRUG USED... |
| 00:54:20 |
|
ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT FREE SPEECH IN CHINA? |
| 00:54:25 |
|
I AM AN ENGLISH TEACHER. I TEACH A LITTLE ABOUT CULTURE AND WHAT NOT. I BASICALLY TEACH ENGLISH AND... |
| 00:54:39 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. |
| 00:55:01 |
|
PROFESSOR, WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE? |
| 00:55:05 |
|
JOSEPH FREDERICK WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND HE SHOWED UP LATE TO SCHOOL ONE DAY. IT HAPPENED... |
| 00:55:49 |
|
THE JUSTICE WARNED ABOUT A CHILLING EFFECT ON STUDENTS' SPEECH QUESTIONING THE WAR ON DRUGS. IS THAT... |
| 00:56:01 |
|
THE JUSTICES TO THE PARTICULAR FACTS OF THE SPEECH IN THIS CASE, AND BY THE PLAINTIFF'S OWN ADMISSION,... |
| 00:56:31 |
|
I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THAT. THE COURT, WHEN RENTING ITS DECISION -- RENDERING... |
| 00:57:09 |
|
WHAT ARE STUDENT FREE-SPEECH RIGHTS LIKE TODAY? |
| 00:57:12 |
|
I THINK THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN SCHOOLS. ANY TEACHER WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU THE SAME... |
| 00:57:34 |
|
I AGREE, BUT I WOULD URGE PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IS NOT JUST HAPPEN. STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS... |
| 00:58:00 |
|
WHAT ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET? |
| 00:58:03 |
|
IT IS VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH, BECAUSE BOTH THE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL PHENOMENA THAT COME WITH THAT... |
| 00:58:57 |
|
ARE THEIR CURRENT CASE IS PENDING ADDRESSING THE INTERNET AND STUDENTS' FREE-SPEECH RIGHTS? |
| 00:59:03 |
|
I BELIEVE THERE ARE. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME LOWER COURT HOLDINGS ABOUT THE LIMITS OF SPEECH ON LINE.... |
| 00:59:51 |
|
HOW TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AVOID CENSORING THE INTERNET? |
| 00:59:57 |
|
YOU HAVE TO START OFF BY RECOGNIZING THAT SCHOOLS DO NOT VIEW THEIR MISSION AS BEING THE INTERNET... |
| 01:00:58 |
|
TODAY, IS TINKER A GOOD LAW? |
| 01:01:02 |
|
IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERTURNED, SO IT DOES STILL APPLY IN SCHOOLS. |
| 01:01:06 |
|
IS STILL THE FIRST POINT OF REFERENCE. |
| 01:01:16 |
|
THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK MARY BETH TINKER WHO JOINED US EARLIER ON THE... |
