Freedom of speech‚ in my opinion‚ is being limited. It shouldn’t though. To have the freedom to speak our minds is what very little countries have.

It is also protected by the First Amendment under the words of - ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion‚ or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech‚ or of the

AOTW Redskins I disagree with California Ban on the word ‘Redskins.” I disagree because Native Americans are the only one making it a bad name. No one else is using Redskins in a bad way or even thinks of it in a bad way. All reskins means is that someone skin has a red tint. It’s names of many schools and some famous sports teams and they shouldn’t have to change their name because Native Americans think of it in a bad way.

First they invited them over‚ second they saw certain troubles in cultural affair‚ third they tried to invade cultural fairness by suggesting banning to local authorities and offices allowing further social injustice. My point is clear‚ if you want social justice‚ you can’t ban religious matters in any race. IF NOT‚ you will have to ban yourself from saying "Jesus Christ" or "God" as well as many other Christian frequent manners. This is surely disgusting! Of course i am all in favor against the

“Redskins” This article has an impact on all of us. I don’t agree that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned in the state of California. If this ban would travel around the world‚ a lot of schools would have to change their name. Our school has the Redskins name and for the name Redskins to be banned‚ we would have to change the name of our school. I don’t know why people are offended by this particular word‚ there are so many other problems in the world that we should be focusing on. People are whining
