Golden Anniversary of Supreme Court ruling protecting anonymous speech - 0 views

  •  
    The Supreme Court ruled more than 50 years ago today that the First Amendment protects a right to anonymous speech. In Talley v. California (1960), the Court ruled in favor of civil rights activist Manuel Talley in a decision that remains a valuable precedent, particularly in the age of Internet and its amplification of anonymous speech.

Standing room only for GSC artwork panel | AccessNorthGa - 0 views

  •  
    Of course, in discussing how "offensive" the work may be to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the point that the First Amendment protects precisely speech that some people find offensive was somehow missed. And the attorney claiming that the panel was biased against censorship - well, isn't the whole country supposed to be biased against censorship? As in: free speech is part of he constitution! Yes, there are restrictions - but he should know better, these restrictions do not apply to the ideas expressed in a work of art in a gallery - a college gallery to boot.

Feature on NCAC board member and young adult fiction hero Judy Blume! - 0 views

  •  
    Blume's character explores things that might have been off-limits. She doubts, she gets angry at God. This displeased some fundamentalist Christian groups, as well as parents who were not happy Blume was exposing children to sensitive issues. In the early 1980s these groups tried to censor her books and in some states they were indeed removed from libraries. And even though things have changed considerably there, she says, every year some of her books appear on a list of "challenged books" - works that some people want to have censored.
