Register for "The First Amendment"

November 2, 2024, 8:30 AM ET - 2:15 PM ET | Hosted by: Kokomo High School | Kokomo, IN | Discussion Leader: Joseph Fornieri

This seminar explores the crucial role of free speech in a democratic republic and the Court’s evolving standards of jurisprudence over the past hundred years. Using primary documents as the basis of our conversation, we will focus on landmark rulings involving direct incitement, hateful and offensive speech, free expression, and compelled speech.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
