It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
From the white house website, the first amendment is a very important part of US culture. Being able to speak your mind, and practice your own religion is a key part of living in the US.]]> 2023-01-29 17:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460440410 sammycolewilson https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460440571 Engle v Vitale
Engle v Vitale is a supreme court case where it was ruled that  a public school in the US could not have a mandatory prayer, because it effect students rights to freedom of their own religion, by having the US establish a religion.
Tinker v Des Moines
In Tinker v Des Moines, students wearing black armbands to school as a protest against the war in Vietnam were threatened suspension. The supreme court ruled that the armbands were them practicing freedom of speech, so the school could not suspend them unless they were interrupting learning.
Wisconsin v Yoder
In Wisconsin v Yoder, SCOTUS ruled that the Amish did not have to send their children to high school, because it conflicted with their religion. This case backs up the freedom of religion in the US.]]> 2023-01-29 17:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460440571 sammycolewilson https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460441094 Schenk v US
The Supreme court ruled in this case that during a time of war, people could not distribute anti-draft leaflets. Although it did infringe on the 1st amendment, it is more important to protect the country. The court compared it to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

The Supreme Court decided that the city of Chicago could not ban handguns in a similar way that the District of Columbia could not. The 2nd amendment is a deeply rooted right, and states could not take it away.

De facto discrimination is much more broad, containing bias of individuals and attitudes of groups that will discriminate against people, sometimes not even intentionally. An example of this is that medical students typically think that black people experience less pain.]]> 2023-01-29 21:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460567934 sammycolewilson https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460584930 In a response to Jim Crow laws and segregation/discrimination in the US, MLK, among other people, led protests and sit-ins. When he was arrested and sent to jail, he wrote a letter in response to clergymen telling him that they sympathized with his cause, but now was not the right time. The letter he wrote was long and made many good points about how he was justified in his actions, and there would never be a "right time to stand up." No matter how long people waited, they would be told to wait longer: "This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.'" It is not his wish to break the law, but sometimes he has to.]]> 2023-01-29 21:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460584930 sammycolewilson https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460593346 In Brown v Board of Education of Topeka (1), black students had to walk very far to go to a segregated school, instead of being able to go to a nearby white school. This followed the established doctrine at the time: separate but equal. However, the Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal could never truly be equal, and it instilled inferiority into the black children. This may be the most impactful case in human history, starting integration as well as desegregation.]]> 2023-01-29 22:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460593346 sammycolewilson https://padlet.com/sammycolewilson/82u6l504p3o8d7ww/wish/2460602226 Many important things happened during the civil rights movement.
The Civil Rights Act made it illegal to unreasonably discriminate against someone.
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits discrimination against someone based on sex.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed discrimination against people to stop them from voting -- put a stop to racist voting laws.
