Syllabus Day

TIPS for this CLASS:
Read Lesson's Beforehand

**Talk to TLW about speaking in our class**

We will mainly be talking about the bill of rights.


The first amendment is like an umberella.
Political speech is one of the MOST protected type of speech.
Religious anything.
Press (hmm who is the press? well there is a set criteria to be concidered to be the "press")

What's not protected: 
Hate speech, slander, libel (Slander & Libel means it hurts their reputation)
Censorship, Obceneity (when is something obcene? "When the court says so")


**Read chapters 1 & 2**


Get the book and start reading.
She recommends that we read ahead before discussion or we will continue to stay confused.

Chapter one had a lot of vocab words...not usually a fan of flashcards..but I broke down this time.


The book is "The Law of Public Communication, 8th ed" by Middleton, Kent R. and Lee, William.
