PSA Outline

Topic: Student's rights for freedom of expression.

3 Statistics/Facts to be used in my PSA:

• "But it is also the case that school administrators have a far greater ability to restrict the speech of their students than the government has to restrict the speech of the general public."
• "The First Amendment prevents Congress from abridging U.S. citizens' right to freedom of speech; the 14th Amendment extends this limitation to state and local governments."
• "While courts have generally decided the degree to which First Amendment rights apply within schools, some states have taken it upon themselves to pass additional legislation to ensure the protection of students' freedom of expression."
