Anatomy of the First Amendment and a Look at Its Interpretation.
Otto, Jean H.
Social Education, v54 n6 p356-57,362 Oct 1990
Dissects features of the First Amendment, concentrating on freedom of religion, speech, and press clauses. Highlights the Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier case and its reverberations. Argues that, when school officials censor, students learn that government may censor. Suggests censorship is counterproductive to schools' mission to promote self-government. (CH)
