First Amendment... should it always be protected?

As we prepare to read Joyce Carol Oates' novel Big Mouth & Ugly Girl, we will talk quite a bit about the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and what it means.

This discussion will include reading the following article:

written by Marilyn Manson, the musician blamed for the tragic acts that took place at Columbine High School.

First, let's listen to what Manson and the media have to say about whose fault it is......

The question for your group as you discuss the First Amendment and this article by Manson is:

Do the events of Columbine High School (and others like it) change how the First Amendment should be interpreted? Why or why not? Be prepared to defend your opinion.
