Freedom of Speech

After listening to the interview and Morse v. Frederick case, I believe the court should recognize that Joseph Frederick didn't do anything wrong and was just exercising his freedom of speech. He said in the interview that he was curious about what rights he had and what the limits were, so he decided to see how far he could get with the banner. Freedom of speech gives us the right to say what we want as long as it's not hurting anybody and in his case, disrupting education. He may have offended some people, but he didn't directly hurt them. I believe that students should still have freedom of speech in the classroom because the classroom is also located in the United States and the rules shouldn't change. As long as the learning process isn't altered by the comment, students should be able to think and say what they want. Freedom of speech is very important to a lot of people in the United States, including me. It allows people to express their opinions and beliefs. There are times when I like to say exactly what I think and the thought of getting in trouble for that is not fair.

I ended up near the middle of the whole class at number 19. I learned a lot about how Congress actually works and what kinds of jobs they have to do. I learned about the different positions they have such as upper senator and rookie. I also learned how important passing legislation and doing various other activities is for people in Congress. There isn't much I would change about how it works but I would want it to be more clear on how the total points are divided among the players.
