| One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice. The First Amendment to the Constitution is considered a pillar of our democracy. By placing checks on governmentaI power to silence its populace, its protections have important ramifications. But the First Amendment is not simpIy a IegaI concept\-\-it has significant and far\-reaching cuIturaI impIications as welI. This course wiII consider questions of how we define speech, and when the state or others can interfere with individual rights. What the First Amendment protects is Iargely a function of why it offers protection\-\-a commitment to democracy and Iiberty. ln pursuit of these ideals, courts have often placed a higher value on politicaI speech, aIthough no such distinction is made in the Constitution. In recent years, American universities today have become hotbeds not just for vigorous debate but for questioning whether vigorous debate even has a rightful place on campus. Speech codes, canceled guest Iecturers, and hecklers reguIarIy make headlines. This talk wiII expIore how our coIIeges have become Iightning rods for confIict about the First Amendment. |
