This is the artist's representation of the Snyder v. Phelps case and how ridiculous they believe Snyder is for suing Phelps when he was protected by the First Amendment.

During a survey of over 37,000 undergraduates reports show that over 80% of reported students self-censoring their viewpoints at least part of the time. Only 40% of students felt comfortable disagreeing with a professor in class. Players who stood during the national anthem remarked that they respected what the players who remained seated were doing even if they disagree with their viewpoints. All the players as well as coaches respect each other's right to free speech in a respectful manner and are teaching each other understanding and tolerance of different viewpoints.]]> 2021-12-17 19:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Trabenaedu/SnyderVPhelps/wish/1954239143
