  • Freedom To Speak0

    In 1968 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Pickering v. Board of Education that public school teachers do not forfeit their First Amendment rights to engage in speech that their employer, the school district, might find disagreeable.1 The following year, in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, the High Court wrote that students

  • Faith In A Dagger0

    Illustration By Sally Wern Comport Depending on whom you ask, Gurbaj Singh is either a victim of religious intolerance or a troublemaker defying his provincial government, school board, and school. In 2001 the then-12-year-old Sikh from Montreal made headlines when he knocked heads with his school, Sainte-Catherine-Laboure, over his wearing a four-inch (10-centimeter) ceremonial dagger,

  • Fair Game0

    By Allen M. Jackson Woven into the warp and woof of American culture—a good swath of it, anyway—is the notion of athletics and fair play. For decades school sports have helped lift young people from obscurity into the limelight (Ronald Reagan, Brandi Chastain). And in some parts of the country—most notably Texas—football games all but

  • Editorial – Executive Summary0

    This morning I unpacked my latest cell phone and tried to turn it on. And tried and tried. To no avail! I pushed every likely button in hopes of getting power up. I even read the summary sheet for start-up. It was cryptic and unhelpful. Finally I called the 800 help line, and a velvet-voiced

    Prison was not a new experience for Michael Potts. This was his third time behind bars. Like the overwhelming majority of prisoners, Michael was caught in a revolving door.

  • Pledge of Allegiance0

    Minersville School District v. Gobitis In 1940, 14 years before Congress added the phrase "under God" to the Pledge. A school district in Pennsylvania said that students had to recite the Pledge. The Supreme Court said it was OK for the school district to expel students who didn't. A brother and sister—Jehovah's Witnesses—were expelled from

    Waste and Responsibility In John W. Whitehead's "Amish v. State" article in the March/April 2003 Liberty magazine, he indicates that the only waste that an Amish family produces is organic. Inasmuch as human feces is organic and it flows untreated into streams, it would seem that Mr. Whitehead would have no problem living downstream from

  • Freedom Behind Bars0

    Illustrations by Sally Wern Comport One of the primary purposes of incarceration is the reform and eventual rehabilitation of prisoners.1 Despite this goal, recidivism is common, and prisons are often the breeding grounds of criminal conspiracies. Yet not all those released from prison return to a life of crime. For many, prison time provides the
