Freedom of Speech

After reading the article "The Schools Are Destroying Freedom of Speech" wrote by Mr. Whitehead I feel an important topic is brought up. The citizens of this country are losing their freedoms and not fighting back about it. The government and courts are taking sides of schools and other groups who are taking these rights away. I myself don't agree with this because the constitution states are freedoms and these rights are being taken away. Multiple schools have shut down graduation speeches because they don't agree with what the person giving the speech is saying. What gives them the right to determine what is right and wrong to say in a speech? School authorities should not have control over what students can and can't say to an extent. There are certain things that should be filtered out of the school language such as foul language an threats to hurt another person but under no circumstances should a student be censored when they bring up religion. Our founding fathers wrote the constitution to ensure our rights as Americans so what gives government nowadays the right to take them away. If we allow this to continue to happen and continue to not educate our student fully on the consititution it could allow the government down the road to have control of what we can or can't say, what can and can't be published along with many other bad things.
I believe our school systems should put more of an emphasis when learning about the constitution and what it means and allows us as Americans to do. Along with this courts need to start siding against schools in law suits where a student was censored at school for something that the constitution allows. With these two problems fixed young citizens will know their rights and the government won't be able to have more control down the road as it looks right now. Not everyone is going to like what is said by another person but that doesn't give them permission to keep them from talking, they should just choose to ignore the information.
