The free speech movement throughout US history has been a controversial topic and can
be traced back to some websites that provide access to the original founders who represent a
community of high ideals and mutual caring. The website showcases the founders and associates
of the movement and its history while keeping their memories alive.
The writer provided credible and reliable information due to the fact that he has written
for the leading scholarly publication and journal of record in the field of American history, which
is well known as the major resource for the study, investigation, and teaching of our country's
heritage. The work is appropriate for all audiences due to its expansive information from decades
ago, enticing an elderly crowd.

The article focuses on exposing the lies within the first amendment and the confusion
between free speech and false speech. Holocaust denial is mentioned as an example of false
speech because it is altered or avoided and the article discusses whether or not false speech could
pose a more serious danger than free speech.
The writer provided credible and reliable information based on her expansive knowledge
of free speech after researching and writing many works for different Law Review publications.
The work could possibly considered biased with her position on the first amendment.
This source provides a look into the differentiation between false and free speech. I never
thought to compare the two before reading this article and now see that both could be considered
be harmful.

http://www.jstor.org/stable/40252871?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

The article discusses the enforcement of speech and how it differs within cultures and
races and how they embrace their diversity of ideas and ideologies. This diversity is hindered by
the restrictions within each culture because there is still discrimination for many social groups.
The writer provided credible and reliable information based on his knowledge of Social
Science at the Institute for Advanced Study. He understands social relationships and the human
society, however, he may be biased because he is defending those in different social groups
rather than their human rights.
This source provides a look into how diversity and culture play into free speech and I
never thought to take those factors into consideration when researching free speech.

pro-constitutional rights and justice for all no matter the circumstances.

limitations of free speech and I was previously aware of this topic. This article supports my
stance on the matter.

rights and empowerment. He focuses on the challenges free speech entails. The author could be

The University of California, Berkeley is well known for its commitment to free speech;
the campus was schedules to host Milo Yiannopoulo as a speaker, but later had to cancel due to
the possible safety risks for the speaker and the public due to the chance of protests. The violent
 Feeley 2

protests at Berkeley and elsewhere emphasize the recent struggle colleges and universities are
having with preserving free speech while at the same time protecting students.
The writer provided credible and reliable information based on her experience with
education policy and politics for nearly a decade. The work is appropriate for audiences such as
students, teachers and the concerned public.
This source provides a look into how colleges and universities view free speech and how
lenient they are willing to be. This helps me to understand that even colleges that are known for
their strong belief in free speech still have their doubts and setbacks.

High school students are voicing their opinions on the limited Free speech they
currently possess. These students feel that speech is restricted within school grounds and that
they should be allowed to voice unpopular opinions. Those who hear the protesting students at
the Supreme Court building in Washington DC are their pleas into consideration are conducting
research and polls on the amount of support the First Amendment has among this certain
demographic.
The writer provided credible and reliable information based on his experience writing for
The New York Timess express desk, as well as covering state governments for The Washington
Post. There is not much to analyze, the article is very straightforward and shows statistical data
proving the articles key stance.

that they are lacking the right to express their ideas freely.
