When does free speech cross the line and lose First Amendment protection? Teach incoming students about freedom of speech limitations and more in this lesson by FIRE.
This lesson can be a tool to teach student government members and student organization leaders about how the university can and cannot respond to controversial speakers.
Beyond use during digital or in-person orientations, this lesson can be used for onboarding TAs to give them an overview of their rights in the classroom. The framework for a faculty-led panel on academic freedom can also be used as a Constitution Day activity on campus.
FIRE has developed a series of free-to-use modules, videos, and other resources for universities to utilize when teaching incoming students about their free speech rights and the principles behind the First Amendment.
