From small private colleges to large public universities across the nation, schools across the country have experienced it: a guest is not welcomed due to his or her controversial or offensive views.
Questioning whether such speech violates the First Amendment is at the core of this article; thus, we’ll examine this topic using some recent legal cases as examples.
1. The Price of Freedom
Freedom can come at a price, sometimes quite steeply so. Yet it is worth paying this price for.
The Price of Freedom is an engaging film that brings America’s gun debate into sharp relief. It depicts how the National Rifle Association, once intended as a nonpartisan sporting enthusiasts’ association, became an outsized political force with enormous clout who have turned major cultural and historical inflection points into opportunities for expanding gun access; how gun ownership has become synonymous with liberty, patriotism, and identity; as well as all the ways people have attempted to combat its dangerous policies by challenging or opposing it.
Families can use this film as an opportunity for discussion about preserving freedom, preventing violence, creating change through working together, and discussing teamwork, perseverance, and courage as means of reaching goals. Furthermore, this movie can inspire families to become activists for safer communities by purchasing exclusive apparel or giving a backpack gift to wounded service members in need. UA Freedom also encourages viewers to become activists themselves by buying exclusive merchandise, volunteering at local events, and sharing stories of personal triumph.
2. No Comply
If you skateboard, then chances are you know what a “no comply” is – an impressive skateboarding trick that entails performing a frontside 180 on flat terrain without touching the ground. Although challenging, mastering it will take your skating to new levels.
Tommy Guerrero hosts a YouTube show called ‘BS with TG’; in one episode, he features Rob Kamm (known by his nickname Orb). Rob discusses a trick known as 43 – an impressive no-compliant frontside on flat that shows just how committed Orb is to his craft. It’s excellent seeing Orb so passionate about skating, as demonstrated through this trick!
A No Comply shirt is an effective way to show your enthusiasm for skateboarding while serving as a reminder that it is always best to abide by all applicable regulations. This is particularly important in skateboarding circles where many rules must be obeyed if you want to continue the activity; breaking them could result in being banned from skate parks or even arrested. Before setting out on your journey, always read and follow all relevant regulations, as this ensures both fun and safety! Have a blast skating!
4. The Price of Freedom is Worth It
Freedom is worth fighting for – American colonists waged war to shed taxes levied by the British crown, while democracies around the globe used it as their rallying cry. But what is its cost, and is it really worth fighting for?
The UA Freedom shirt provides the answer, featuring a silhouette of a soldier running toward battle with defiance and courage, surrounded by thirteen stars representing each original American colony. On the back of this shirt is an actual hand-drawn design reading “Never Comply — Your Freedom Is Worth It.” Crafted with high-quality materials and made to fit comfortably for men of any size, this relaxed-fit graphic tee makes an excellent statement that freedom is worth fighting for.
