Social 30-1

You wrote your Unit 3 WRA I three source analysis assignment today. I should be able to have this marked for you by Monday. When we returned to the classroom, I returned your Unit 2 WRA II Essays back to you. I also did a homework check on your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions today. We discussed a couple of important issues today: privacy and free speech. I showed you a documentary on free speech and the First Amendment rights in the U.S. The HBO documentary was called "Shouting Fire". As you watched this video, you should have taken notes on the case studies in the video (Ward Churchill, academic freedom post-9/11, conservative think-tanks going after left-wing academics; Debbie Almontaser, Principal of Khalil Gibran International Academy getting into trouble over t-shirts labelled as "Intifada NYC"; ACLU defense of Nazi Party of USA's march through Skokie, Illinois; Chase Harper's t-shirt protest against the "day of silence"; the fight to publish the Pentagon Papers; protests against at the Republican Nation Convention in New York City.)
