1st Amendment


        I believe that it is right for children to say what they like as long as it is not ‘harmful to others or to an educational environment.” I think that everyone should be allowed the freedom of speech to voice their thoughts and feelings. Since everyone does have their own thoughts and feelings it is good that there is a limit to what one can say. For example, if a child at school is trying to push their religious or political beliefs upon another child I think that is good that someone is allowed to stop them. Everyone should have the right to think and believe what they want, but I do not think that it is okay for them to push those beliefs on somebody else. On the other hand, I do also think that discussions and heated debates on certain subjects can really help broaden somebody’s frame of mind. Discussions and debates can help teach people different things and different ways to look at certain subjects that they never would have come up with themselves. So personally, the 1st Amendment is great as long as it is executed in the right way and used in the same way it was designed to be used in.
