Read the Introduction.
"Brave and appealing. Saunders deserves attention for
challenging free-expression orthodoxy."
--"American Journalism Review"
"This is an unusually thoughtful and sophisticated book about
what freedom of speech means in the real world. Offers a clear,
sensible, and rule-governed system of free speech for the younger
generation."
--John Garvey, Boston College Law School
The First Amendment is vital to our political system, our
cultural institutions, and our routine social interactions with
others. In this provocative book, Kevin Saunders asserts that
freedom of expression can be very harmful to our children, making
it more likely that they will be the perpetrators or victims of
violence, will grow up as racists, or will use alcohol or
tobacco.
Saving Our Children from the First Amendment examines both the
value and cost of free expression in America, demonstrating how an
unregulated flow of information can be detrimental to youth. While
the great value of the First Amendment is found in its protection
of our most important political freedoms, this is far more
significant for adults, who can fully grasp and benefit from the
freedom of expression, than for children. Constitutional
prohibitions on distributing sexual materials to children, Saunders
proposes, should be expanded to include violent, vulgar, or profane
materials, as well as music that contains hate speech.
Saunders offers an insightful meditation on the problem of
protecting our children from the negative effects of freedom of
expression without curtailing First Amendment rights for
adults.
