Censorship exists all the time but can go unnoticed as people have become accustomed to it. Have you ever felt limited to objects? Offended that materials are being taken away or that rules are being made because some people find it offensive. Censorship is hotly contested because some people defend First Amendment rights. Censorship is the act of abolishing or removing certain information or anything offensive or seen as threatening or inappropriate to a person. It goes against First Amendment rights (Taylor 8). Censorship happens everywhere, such as in families, in public places such as cinemas, and even in schools. In schools it is a little easier to censor because they try to remain neutral and not take sides or touch on topics that may cause controversy. Censorship is necessary to some extent in schools and students' rights have been tested by the Supreme Court, so limits were set even though in some situations censorship was not necessary. Censorship is the act of removing items or ideas and the First Amendment helps combat it because there are certain things that the right people have that cannot be interfered with. People censor topics they deem inappropriate due to language or content. The content cannot concern political or religious topics that may be sensitive and should not be raised (Emert). In school, censorship is to keep education pleasant and calm and to not be opinionated about aspects of life such as social, political or religious topics. Basically anyone can censor. In school the school board, the principal, the librarians and the teachers, on the other hand in public there are the police officers or other people with power like the government who can censor. Even in movie theaters or with parents at home they censor (...... half of the paper ...... the t-shirt had to make a political statement in which he has the right to do so (Nguyen). At first the U.S. The U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont ruled against Guiles but then Guiles appealed and the court ruled in his favor stating that drugs and alcohol did not constitute a disorder and that there was only one person who complained, so the court could not side with the judge school (Nguyen). Another dress code case was the case of Bivens v. Albuquerque see what they can do about sagging pants. It all started when Richard Bivens was suspended from school because of sagging pants. Bivens' mom wasn't happy to hear about it and sued the school. The school suspended him for a long time because the school was starting to have a growing gang problem (Really 10).
