The right to free speech is a fundamental right granted by the US Constitution. But how does it apply to students in school? The Cost of Free Speech is a two part lesson that examines three lawsuits dealing with schools and students' right to free speech. Lesson 1- During the Vietnam War students wore black armbands to protest the war. Should they be allowed? How did the Courts rule? What precedent was set? Lesson 2- Fast forward to two other cases: A girl protests the "Day of Silence" organized by the Gay/Straight Alliance by wearing a shirt that says "Be Happy, Not Gay. She was sent home. A group of students wear shirts with the American flag to protest a Cinco De Mayo celebration. Fights threatened to break out and they were sent home. In both cases, the students sued.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution protects free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association and assembly, and the right to petition the government. Why did the Framers protect these particular rights? What role were these rights intended to play in our democracy? And what force do they retain in today's world? In this highly readable account, Ashutosh Bhagwat explores the answers to these questions. The first part of the book looks at the history of the First Amendment, early political conflicts over its meaning, and the lessons to be learned from those events about the nature of our system of government. The second part applies those lessons to our modern, fractious democracy as it has evolved in the age of the Internet and social media. Now as then, the key to maintaining that democracy, it turns out, is an active citizenry that fully embraces the First Amendment.
