Register for "First Amendment: Free Speech"

February 8, 2025, 8:30 AM CT - 2:15 PM CT | Hosted by: Catholic High School | Baton Rouge, Louisiana | Discussion Leader: Joseph Fornieri

This seminar will explore the crucial role of free speech in a democratic republic and the Supreme Court’s evolving standards of jurisprudence since the first opinion handed down in 1919. We will focus on landmark rulings surrounding 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 Professor 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.
