Freedom of the Press

One time, I published an article in our school newspaper about how strict our dress code was. We weren't allowed to wear ripped jeans (even if they had a small hole in the knee or ANYTHING), we weren't even allowed to wear band t-shirts, regardless of the band. They said that they can't ban some bands and not others, even though there are a ton of band without obscene t-shirt designs. My article didn't use any names of teachers or administrators, and I didn't get in any trouble or anything. The dress code, however, remains unchanged. MLIF.

Freedom to Petition

One time, my friends and I got really upset about the dress code at our school. We thought it was unfair that we were not allowed to wear Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle outfits, because the teachers said that masks were not allowed. We decided to petition the school, because it is our right, and we all got suspended - which was totally not fair! MLIF.

Freedom of Assembly

Freedom of Assembly is you right to come together as a group to express, promote, pursue, and defend a common interest. we see this happening every day, and it is great to have this right, but we as people need to be responsible for the effects of our assembly. In Nashua the school board was having difficulty with the teachers contract. This made the teachers, and students upset. So the students wanted to get their message across. So we decided to have a student walk out. where the students walked out of school after 3rd block. We have the right to assemble, but this way would be very unsafe for the students. So students found another way to solve this problem. If you truly thought this needed to be addressed, you could email the superintendent at his email address which was giving out to a lot of students. The students had a say and this was an awsome experience.MLIF.

Freedom of Religion

One time I had a raging fire going on in my house. This is how some Hindus break-in a new home - you can call it a house "warming" party taken to the extreme. After putting out the enormous fire, that surprisingly had not burned down our new home, we invited the new neighbors and some friends over for chai and sweets. MLIF.
