Death Of A Social Work

An examination of the First Amendment legal issues that arise when a student turns in an essay and the displaying of religious nature for an assignment will provide insight into how the First Amendment applies to classroom assignments. Each reason will provide important insight, information, and court cases to better help in giving a view of the first amendment in regards to religion and education.

How do you think we as social workers can help those who are at risk for suicide?

The First Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is our rights as citizens living in the United States of America. In this paper I will look at three provisions to the First Amendment, highlighting one case for each provision. Included are one case to discuss freedom of speech, one case to discuss separation of church and state and one case to discuss freedom of association.

The 1st amendment protects US citizens, both natural born and naturalized, from undue censorship by the state and federal government in the free speech clause. The 1st amendment is only compromised in the event of national security, which is supported in Schenk v. United States and affirmed in Abrams v. United States 250 U.S. 616 (1919). Government speech has been assumed in situations where government funding is involved, however, there has been an expectation of private speech in those areas as well. Private speech and government speech often exist in the same spheres, where government speech cannot prevail without trampling the other, and private speech cannot exist wholly without government permission where federal funding is found. An example of this is found in Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, where the Court ruled that the University of Virginia’s refusal to fund student Rosenberger’s publication Wide Awake: A Christian’s Perspective to the University of Virginia was a violation of free speech. Despite the University being a federally and publically funded institution, private speech discussing religion is permitted in the same space as government speech, on the grounds of ensuring equality across the campus. The Court found that if the University was funding secular student magazines publications were being funded, it would only be equal if religious publications received funding. The Court ruled also that the funding of

The first amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. People have been exercising the first amendment even before it was established. During the Vietnam War, there was a rave of people exercising their first amendment. A landmark case is Tinker versus Des Moines Independent Community School District, 1969. The facts of the case is that a group of public school pupils sported black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Eventually, the group of white teens was garner and suspended for not removing the particular object from their body and was not arrested for breaking the rules. The assembly of teens that was suspended sued the district for violating their first amendment and won the case. Another example

The first amendment is pretty self explanatory to most people. It states that congress, or the government, should not make any law in respect to a certain religion. The people should be able to practice whatever religion they would desire. A state law in in New York proved to be in violation of the first amendment. In the New York Public school system, public schools started the day out with having students recite the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer in which everyone basically acknowledged their relying on God. When this was brought into the courtroom, the supreme court agreed. The government should not be sponsoring such activities in the school system. This law violated the first amendment and so a case was opened in court on behalf of

Since the early 20th century many lawsuits have been brought forth challenging mandatory prayer and bible readings in schools, arguing that students should not be forced to practice any religion other than their own. Since then, the Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that, “prayer in schools, Bible readings, and other such religious practices are violations of the First Amendment (Find Law)”. The decisions of the Supreme Court stand as huge “milestones between federalism and states ' rights (Find Law)”.

In recent years the First amendment or the freedom of speech freedom of religion and freedom of the press has been challenged to the Supreme court. The first amendment was ratified December 15, 1791. In recent cases dating back to the year 2000 there has been a variety of cases that have challenged this with school related cases to go to the supreme court. All of the cases which deal with schools allegedly breaking a group or a students first amendment rights. And so in the text below it has specific details and cases on which support the idea of which is how the first amendment affects people in school.

Another example is regarding the freedom of assembly and petition. The author explains how as this part of the amendment has been challenged, its meaning has gained influence but also ensured that Americans are still free to go about their normal business and lives. The author’s reasoning and elaboration upon ideas contribute to the overall strength of the argument and relevance of the evidence

I concur the first amendment protects students right to express themselves in various distinctive school environment such as during discussions, and interaction with their peers. Moreover, public schools cannot prevent student’s ability to pray and learned about diverse religion in the curriculum.

In 1965, Mary Tinker at just thirteen years old decided to practice her freedom of speech. She and her high school peers wore black armbands to school in protest of the Vietnam War. They were then suspended because according to the administrators, school was not a place for demonstration. After this violation of First Amendment rights, Tinker and her family sued the school in a case that went up to the Supreme Court who ruled in favor of Tinker (Scales). Individuals like Tinker have fought and advocated for students’ right to the freedom of speech. Yet, this right has proven its vulnerability time and time again, especially in classroom settings. In Houston, India Landry was expelled from her school for exercising her right to sit during the Pledge of Allegiance. Due to a variety of factors, Landry should have not faced the consequences that she encountered.

The first amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech..." The Supreme Court determined that free speech does in fact have limits. For years the first amendment only applied to the federal government, that was later changed in 1925 in the 'Gitlow v. New York' court case. The Supreme Court said that this applied to other levels of government which included public schools. 44 years later in 'Tinker v. Des Moines' The Supreme Court ruled that if a student "materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others" that the First Amendment does not protect it. Then in 2007 in the 'Morse v. Frederick' case, the

In Cults and Nonreligious Movements I explored allegations of cults and sexual abuse focusing on women and children. Unlike other students, I decided to take a controversial stance and defend those groups facing allegations. I developed a plan of action on how to handle controversial cults and nonreligious movements in a school and professional setting. During my teacher preparation program, I completed an internship in a public school. I decided to select a school with high risk students. I had the task of working with 200+ students on a daily basis. During the last week of my internship I had an epiphany: you have to get out of the classroom. This is not the way you want to reach children and families. The answer is a career in Human Development and Family Studies.

This paper will be about the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights (Amendment 1-10 of the United States Constitution). Along with talking about the 1st amendment, this paper will include court cases from all five parts of this amendment.

In the case regarding the Amish community, a court case against Amish parents (Wisconsin v. Yoder), the Amish parents used the First Amendment under the free exercise clause to protect their religious belief that children do not need a “formal high school education beyond eighth grade”(Fossey and Eckes, 2015, p. 73). Or the case regarding Locke v Davey, in which the argument was about scholarship money could not be used for ministry program. The supreme courts decided that it did not violate the free exercise clause of the first amendment and left it for the discretion of the state. In the case of gay rights coalition of Georgetown University law center v. Georgetown University. Apparently, this student organization (LGBT) wanted to exercise
