What rallies or inspires people to champion the different causes
surrounding filtering or free expression? How do people vary in
their views on what the First Amendment guarantees? This book
encourages students to think critically about the pros and cons of
censorship. The profiles of individuals who are active in free
speech debates show that while there aren't always black and white
answers, there are numerous ways to take a firm stand on the
issues.
Readers will be introduced to a wide variety of people, from
feminists arguing both sides of the debate over pornography, to
those who believe no one can clearly define what is harmful and
what is not. The book also presents people motivated by religious
convictions to censor material they consider negative or
detrimental. Fifty individual stories about activists on
frontlines, fighting for what they believe, bring the controversies
surrounding filtering and freedom of expression into sharp focus,
offering a rich platform for consideration and debate.
