The First Amendment Test

Together, we answered 80% of our questions correctly. That turned out to be 16 correct and 4 incorrect. The questions we had trouble with were the ones that were "it depends". For example, one question asked if it was constitutional for a teacher to tell a student not to wear an article of clothing that showed his or her religious views. The answer was "it depends" because we also have to account for schools that force students to wear uniforms. Overall, we learned that maybe we do not have quite as much freedom as we would like to think after reading the First Amendment. Many times rules can over power some of our rights. Most of the time these rules our set in place for public safety reasons for they are school rules. What ever the case may be, you always have to remember, there could be an "it depends" attached to our rights and freedoms.
