https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p Each student should add a minimum of three examples of free speech: signs (or statements or T-shirts, or images) that you find 1) powerful, or 2) interesting, or 3) daring, or 4) controversial, or 5) humorous but with a point. Be careful that these are all suitable for school. I'm not a big fan of gratuitous profanity or vulgarity. :0 Also, each image has a little editing box, so you should make a comment below the image you chose telling us what it says about free speech to you. You should also comment on other peoples' images if you like them, don't like them, think they are offensive, think they ought to be censored.... en-us 2017-02-13 00:46:35 UTC 2024-08-10 01:08:01 UTC

I never thought about this statement, but it really is true when you think about it. A majority of the people who are anti-abortion are men- they can't even have abortions and will never be able to be pregnant, and therefore live through what women have to go through. If men could have abortions, and if it was their bodies, then maybe a lot more of them would be pro-choice. ]]> 2018-03-13 02:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241183893 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241184362 This sign is very cute and it conveys the message in a humorous way which I think is more effective in protesting.]]> 2018-03-13 02:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241184362 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241184617 I feel like this image is a controversial use of the freedom of speech.

I have always been objectified and made to feel uncomfortable in many situations, and even heard things said about me from people that don't even know me. Everyone deserves respect and courtesy, and I don't understand why this standard of vulgarity still stands in our society.]]> 2018-03-13 04:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241200234 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241390380 2018-03-13 14:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241390380 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241392819 2018-03-13 14:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241392819 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241396075 2018-03-13 14:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241396075 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241593710 2018-03-13 19:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241593710 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241594460 2018-03-13 19:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241594460 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601115 2018-03-13 19:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601115 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601237 2018-03-13 19:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601237 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601845 2018-03-13 19:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241601845 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241602487 2018-03-13 19:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241602487 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241602587 2018-03-13 19:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241602587 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241913439 2018-03-14 14:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241913439 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241913776 2018-03-14 14:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241913776 williamhirt https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241914885 2018-03-14 14:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/241914885 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/242120923 I found this image very powerful and meaningful. Trump believes that America must build a wall to exclude those who cause "disruption," but truthfully Trump has caused a greater amount of horror and disruption to our country. ]]> 2018-03-14 21:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/242120923 https://padlet.com/williamhirt/mow6zeys9w2p/wish/242121799 This image really spoke to me because it shows how many people came together to support women and their rights to their bodies.
