Teach the First Amendment | 1 for All Help Tomorrow’s Citizens Find Their Voice. Teach the First Amendment. The most basic liberties guaranteed to Americans — embodied in the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — assure Americans a government that is responsible to its citizens and responsive to their wishes. These 45 words are as alive and important today as they were more than 200 years ago. We know from studies beginning in 1997 by the nonpartisan First Amendment Center, and from studies commissioned by the Knight Foundation and others, that few adult Americans or high school students can name the individual five freedoms that make up the First Amendment. The lesson plans below — drawn from materials prepared by the Newseum and the First Amendment Center — will draw young people into an exploration of how their freedoms began and how they operate in today’s world. Amy Trenkle teaches 8th grade U.S. history at Stuart-Hobson Middle School in Washington, D.C. New Lesson Plan View Classroom Guide U.S.

National Student Mock Election « National Student Mock Election Online Hate and Free Speech Hate in a Free Speech Environment Many argue that the best response to hate speech is not criminalization, but more speech. A classic example of this took place during the 1990s when Canadian Ken McVay, founder of the anti-hate Nizkor Project, spent over a decade attempting to engage hate activist and Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel in an online discussion. McVay claimed that the Zundelsite refused “to participate in the interactive forums of the Internet” by avoiding discourse with those who disagreed with its views in favour of spreading hate and recruiting supporters. (The website now includes online forums, although it has since come to symbolize other tensions and challenges relating to free speech and hate on the Internet.) Despite McVay’s appeal for the need for public debate, the free speech environment that characterized discussion forums in the late 1980s and early 1990s made many Internet service providers (ISPs) uncomfortable.

It is also the time when certain stories and songs are being repeated. Television holiday shows such as “A Charlie Brown Christmas” are almost iconic, with audiences watching them year after year. And the same is true of holiday songs such as “Jingle Bells,” or “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” that are played at almost all stores. Children too are retold the same classic stories like “The Night Before Christmas,” Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” For many of us, these stories and songs have come to define the spirit of the holidays. The single story In 2009, Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Adichie gave a talk on the danger of a “single story.” Adichie recalled that when she came to the U.S. to study, her roommate remarked that Adichie spoke very good English, and asked if she would play some “tribal music.”

One says family may flee country. These are six year olds.—A first-grade teacher’s tweet to Teaching Tolerance, January 30, 2017 We are 50% ELL (language learners – mostly refugee populations). Just as during the presidential campaign, current events are hitting home with many students, and teachers have to be ready to talk about these topics. Schools with immigrant, undocumented and refugee students are likely to see heightened anxieties and fears among students due to two executive orders: 1) a directive to start immediate construction on a border wall with Mexico and 2) a 90-day ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, and a 120-day suspension on refugee admissions into the United States (indefinitely for Syrian refugees). What do I say to students? Your voice—and other students’ voices—matter. I’m here for you. Here are the facts. Encourage courage. Youth United!

Schools should be safe havens that embrace all students and families, regardless of citizenship and national origin, and that includes unaccompanied and refugee children.
