McDonough, Judith (1998). Technology, Teaching, and Citizenship Education. Today's computer technology is particularly beneficial for a class that is learning issues of government. Government document sources are well organized on the world wide web. Analyzing the Bill of Rights and how the Supreme Court has interpreted challenges is an exercise that incorporates citizenship education, offers insight into judicial decision making, and utilizes primary sources. For example, using the web site, "Supreme Court Cases by Topic," students can use keywords such as "cruel and unusual,""search and seizure,""free press," or "free speech" to find a list of cases in the database that deal with those topics. Versions of Supreme Court cases can be accessed quickly. In a few pages, the facts of the case are outlined, the decision is explained, and the majority opinion is given. The Court considers the Constitution, the intent of the framers, precedent, and in the case of the Amendment, the evolving standards of justice…. [PDF]

Vigilante, David (1991). The Constitution in Crisis: The Red Scare of 1919-1920. A Unit of Study for Grades 9-12. This unit is one of a series that represents specific moments in history from which students focus on the meanings of landmark events. Continuing narrative provides context for the dramatic moment. By studying a crucial turning-point in history, students become aware that choices had to be made by real human beings, that those decisions were the result of specific factors, and that they set in motion a series of historical consequences. The lessons are based on primary sources, taken from documents, artifacts, journals, diaries, newspapers, and literature from the period under study. By analyzing primary sources, students will learn how to analyze evidence, establish a valid interpretation, and construct a coherent narrative in which all the relevant factors play a part. This unit is designed to help students recognize that the guarantees of the Bill of Rights are fragile and must be secured by a commitment to principles. When exaggerated fears of political, racial, or ethnic groups…

Kelly, Kerry C. (2000). The Many Faces of Paul Robeson. The Constitution Community: Postwar United States (1945 to Early 1970s). Paul Robeson was an athlete-scholar-concert artist-actor who was also an activist for civil and human rights. The son of a former slave, he was born and raised during segregation, lynching, and open racism. Robeson was one of the top performers of his time, earning more money than many white entertainers. His travels overseas opened his awareness to the universality of human suffering and oppression. His outspokenness and pro-Soviet stance made him a target of militant anti-communists. In 1950 the State Department revoked his passport, thereby denying him the right to travel and to earn money abroad. Robeson filed a lawsuit for reinstatement of his passport. In 1958 the Supreme Court agreed with Robeson, ruling that the State Department could not deny citizens the right to travel because of their political beliefs. This lesson relates to Article I, Section 9, of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the migration of people should not be prohibited by Congress, and to the First… [PDF]

Landgraf, Susan (2001). How To Use a Wheelbarrow and the First Amendment. Both the poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams and the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights show the power of language as vehicles for message. Using them in class as exercises to look at language and meaning will help students understand the importance of connotation and grammar; the use and validity of sources; and the layers of meaning possible with a few precise words. By looking closely at either in a discussion, students see and model the critical thinking process. Both are short, and each are "do-able" in a 50-minute class. The poem can be used in writing and literature classes to show: importance of language; power of imagery; multiple meanings; essence of poetry; and history of the poem and its writer. The First Amendment can be used in writing, journalism, and media and society classes to show: importance of language and meaning of individual words; possible interpretations of the First Amendment; importance of grammar and why having a… [PDF]

Onslow, Mark; Packman, Ann; Webber, Margaret J. (2004). Effects of Self-Modelling on Stuttering. International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders, v39 n4 p509-522 Oct-Dec. Background: The paper reports on a laboratory investigation of the effects of self-modelling on stuttering rate in adolescents and adults. Self-modelling refers to a therapeutic or training method, usually involving videotape, that uses exposure to oneself performing selected error-free behaviours as the conduit for promoting behaviour change. Aims: To investigate self-modelling in single-subject experiments to determine whether any reductions in stuttering could be directly attributable to watching self-modelling videotapes and to ascertain whether instruction to focus attention on the target behaviour, namely stutter-free speech, was necessary for experimental effects. Methods & Procedures: A single-subject withdrawal design was employed with two adult men and an adolescent boy. Speaking sessions during all phases of the study were of 3-min duration. During the B Phase, subjects watched one of their self-modelling videotapes, which had been edited to remove all stuttered speech,… [Direct]

Jahn, Karon L. (1992). School Dress Codes v. The First Amendment: Ganging up on Student Attire. Do school dress codes written with the specific purpose of limiting individual dress preferences, including dress associated with gangs, infringe on speech freedoms granted by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Although the Supreme Court has extended its protection of political speech to nonverbal acts of communication, it has determined that students' choice of dress as a means of personal expression can be regulated by school officials. Over the last two decades, federal judges have divided evenly on the question of whether guarantees of privacy and free speech apply to teenagers' choice of dress. Some courts have insisted that the constitutional rights of individual students be balanced against the need for school officials to make reasonable health and safety regulations. School officials use the goals of their dress codes as a platform to support specific bans on gang and other inappropriate attire. A review of school dress codes reveals that most codes: (1) prohibit… [PDF]

(1988). Liberty: Constitutional Update. Bar/School Partnership Programs Series. This is the first of four special handbooks on constitutional themes. "The Idea of Liberty" (I. Starr) suggests that for teaching purposes, the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights is an excellent operating definition of liberty. "Introducing the First Amendment" (D. Sorenson) is a lesson plan for use with upper elementary and middle school students. "The Bill of Rights" (C. Yeaton; K. Braechel) is a lesson plan designed to introduce that document to students in grades 4-6. "Freedom of Speech" and "Freedom of Speech and Expression" (D. Greenawald) are lesson plans for grades 4-6 and 7-12 respectively, designed to teach students why freedom of speech is important in a democracy. "Come to the First Amendment Fair" (A. Blum) is a lesson plan for secondary students that focuses on the standards that may limit government in the free speech area. "Going beyond Darwin" (M. Croddy) examines legislation and court cases… [PDF]

O'Neil, Robert M. (1984). Some New Perspectives on the First Amendment in the Schools. The first textbook censorship challenge reached the courts in 1949, when a group of Jewish parents objected to Jewish stereotypes in literature used in the classrooms. This New York case is a reminder that (1) would-be censors do not always come from the far right; (2) while most censorship cases go to court for the purpose of having controversial materials put back on the shelves, sometimes a community or parent group will come to court from the opposite direction–to have material removed; and (3) library and textbook censorship issues are basically different from most other issues that arise under Constitutional free speech. In 1982, the United States Supreme Court finally intervened in a censorship case in Long Island, New York, where students had objected to the school board's decision to remove or restrict several library books found objectionable by parents and by the board. The case was significant in its opinion in favor of a plurality of educational materials, and in its…

Burns, Gary (1991). Television and the Crisis in the Humanities. It is indeed a problem, perhaps even a crisis, that many Americans are ignorant of \The Tempest,\ the Civil War, the location of the Persian Gulf, the Constitution, or the chief justice of the Supreme Court. However, if conservative humanists continue to ostracize, scorn, and ignore both media studies and the media themselves, the result will not be a return to the good old days when people read Homer and listened to Bach, but an even darker veil of ignorance, fostered for economic and political purposes by the very media that some humanists do not wish to understand. The crisis rhetoric of conservatives has about it the ring of both Chicken Little and of Nero fiddling. They emphasize \cultural literacy\ while overlooking actual literacy. The problem of student illiteracy is a chronic problem with a long history, rather than a crisis. But the conservatives ignore real problems that have better claim to the word \crisis\ than do such conservative worries as political correctness,… [PDF]

O'Donnell, Victoria (1986). The Pornography Controversy: Issues, Effects Research, and First Amendment Rights. Advances in media technology, specifically the videotape industry, have made pornography widely available. Opponents of pornography include religious groups, law enforcement officers, some politicians, and some feminists. A distinction is made between eroticism (occurring between consenting participants) and pornography (signifying overt or covert coercion). Research on the effects of eroticism and pornography reveals that (1) observed erotic behavior may elicit sexual reactions but does not heighten aggression; (2) observed sexual aggression may evoke aggression-facilitating responses; (3) when erotica and pornography both have unpleasant or extravagant content, they are equal in their effect on the aggression levels of viewers; (4) the effects of modeled sexual assaults are strongly influenced by how the victims' reactions are portrayed; (5) massive exposure to pornography alters sexual standards and attitudes toward women, but decreases aggression; and (6) individual…

(1996). Nonlegislative Report of the Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property Committee on the Judiciary. U.S. House of Representatives. Under the Copyright Act of 1976, "fair use" exemption places a limit on the exclusive rights of copyright owners to promote free speech, learning, scholarly research and open discussion. The Consortium of College and University Media Centers (CCUMC) convened a diverse group of interested parties to draft guidelines which would provide guidance on the application of the fair use exemption by educators, scholars, and students in creating multimedia projects that include portions of copyrighted works, for their use in noncommercial educational activities, without having to seek the permission of copyright owners. These guidelines form the body of this nonlegislative report. The guidelines, which do not represent a legal document, nor are they legally binding, represent an agreed upon interpretation of the fair use provisions of the Copyright Act by the overwhelming majority of the institutions and organizations affected by educational multimedia. A list of those organizations… [PDF]

Schrecker, Ellen (2005). The New McCarthyism in Academe. Thought & Action, p103-118 Fall. Ellen Schrecker is professor of history at Yeshiva University. Recognized as one of the nation's leading experts on McCarthyism, she has published many books and articles on the subject. Here she writes that while it would be difficult to deny that America's colleges and universities are under siege at the moment, it is hard to tell whether they are facing a replay of the academic freedom violations of the McCarthy era. Shrecker asserts in this article that although it is unlikely we will see an exact replay of the anticommunist furor that roiled the nation's campuses during the early Cold War, external forces are currently challenging the traditional freedom and autonomy of American higher education. Inspired by a cohort of dedicated activists, many politicians, talk-show hosts, and ordinary citizens are questioning both the mission of today's universities and the political affinities of their faculties. While heads have yet to roll, intellectual freedom faces challenges that seem… [Direct]

Simpson, Michael D. (1999). Eleventh Amendment Immunity and Academic Freedom. NEA Higher Education Research Center Update, v5 n3 Oct. This "Update" discusses the impact of the "Seminole Tribe v. State of Florida" decision on higher education. In essence, the Court in this decision rescinded the doctrine of "Eleventh Amendment immunity" and ruled that Congress has only limited power to enact laws that apply to state governmental entities, including public colleges and universities. This means that Congress may not have the constitutional power to extend some federal job protections and benefits to persons employed by public institutions of higher education. Congress doesn't have the power to give employees of public colleges and universities the right to sue their employers in federal court. However, this power is partially restored through the Fourteenth Amendment. Some court decisions related to higher education are reviewed with regard to age discrimination suits by faculty members, family and medical leave entitlement, disability discrimination, and other federal civil rights laws….

Fox, Peter T.; Hardies, L. Jean; Ingham, Janis C.; Ingham, Roger J.; Lancaster, Jack L.; Xiong, Jinhu; Zamarripa, Frank (2004). Brain Correlates of Stuttering and Syllable Production: Gender Comparison and Replication. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v47 n2 p321 Apr. This article reports a gender replication study of the P. T. Fox et a. (2000) performance correlation analysis of neural systems that distinguish between normal and stuttered speech in adult males. Positron-emission tomographic (PET) images of cerebral blood flow (CBF) were correlated with speech behavior scores obtained during PET imaging for 10 dextral female stuttering speakers and 10 dextral, age- and sex-matched normally fluent controls. Gender comparisons were made between the total number of voxels per region significantly correlated with speech performance (as in P. T. Fox et al., 2000) plus total voxels per region that were significantly correlated with stutter rate and notwith syllable rate.Stutter-rate regional correlates were generally right-sided in males, but bilateral in the females. For both sexes the positive regional correlates for stuttering were in right (R) anterior insula and the negative correlates were in R Brodmann area 21/22 and an area within left (L)…

Foster, Andrea L. (2005). Professors Join the Fray as Supreme Court Hears Arguments in File-Sharing Case. Chronicle of Higher Education, v51 n31 pA27 Apr. U.S. Supreme Court justices struggled in a lively debate with how to balance the competing interests of the entertainment industry and developers of file-sharing technology. Some justices sharply questioned whether it was fair to hold inventors of a distribution technology liable for copyright infringement, while others suggested that it was wrong for a business to thrive on illegal copying. In the case, \MGM Studios Inc. vs. Grokster Ltd.\, movie and recording companies hope to put an end to the swapping of songs and videos online by holding the producers of peer-to-peer file-sharing software responsible for the copyright violations of users. The suit is one of the most significant copyright cases to come before the Supreme Court since 1984, when the justices ruled on the legality of the Betamax videocassette recorder. In legal briefs filed in support of Grokster, scholars and technology experts asked the court to judge file-sharing software using the same standard it applied to the… [Direct]

Ayers, Rick, Ed.; Ayers, William, Ed.; Dohrn, Bernardine, Ed. (2001). Zero Tolerance: Resisting the Drive for Punishment in our Schools. A Handbook for Parents, Students, Educators, and Citizens. This book presents the views of educators, intellectuals, students, and community activists to show that most students expelled from schools under new disciplinary measures are sent home for nonviolent violations; that the rush to judge and punish disproportionately affects black and Hispanic students; and that the new disciplinary ethos is eroding constitutional protections of privacy, free speech, and due process. The papers are \Introduction: Resisting Zero Tolerance\ (William Ayers, Rick Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn); \Ground Zero\ (Gregory Michie); \Two Punches, Expelled for Life\ (Rick Ayers); \Arturo's Case\ (Steven Drizin); \From the Jail Yard to the School Yard\ (Tony DeMarco); \Racial Profiling at School: The Politics of Race and Discipline at Berkeley High\ (A.

Hennen, John C. (1996). The Americanization of West Virginia: Creating a Modern Industrial State, 1916-1925. This book looks at education, ideology, and industrial relations in West Virginia in the context of mobilization for World War I, postwar social instability, and national economic expansion. World War I consolidated the dominant positions of businessmen, professional educators, and political capitalists as arbiters of national values. Alarmed by widespread labor conflict and fears of communism, these leaders used propaganda and public relations tactics refined during the war to make free-market principles synonymous with patriotic citizenship and therefore, immune to debate in the political arena. West Virginia educators and schools played a major role in this movement, which coincided with the centralization of educational authority in state agencies and the rise of "scientific management" principles and the "factory model" of schooling. State administrators and teacher educators believed in the virtues of a vocational education that would prepare the great…

David A. Bowlin (2004). Cyberspace Off-Campus Student Rights: A Legal Frontier for School Administrators. ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh. Schools and, more specifically, school administrators, have been charged with balancing the expressive rights of students while maintaining a safe school environment. Recently, student created websites have become the chosen method in which students have voiced their opinions about schools, teachers and school administrators. Many school administrators have been quick to discipline students for off-campus Internet speech because they feel the content may be socially inappropriate. Quite simply, the shootings at Columbine gave school administrators all the reasons they needed to trounce the First Amendment rights of public school students in the name of preventing violence. Absent, however, of any "true" threat or substantial disruption to the educational environment, student off-campus Internet speech is protected under the First Amendment. In some of the litigated cases, there were out of court settlements as well as summary judgments that included significant costs to the… [Direct]
