Books about Free Speech and Censorship
September 17th is Constitution Day. The Constitution includes the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" In a democratic society, people have freedom to choose what they read, watch, and listen to. The American Library Association "has long championed the freedom of the press and the freedom to read. ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom collects resources about the First Amendment, censorship, academic freedom, and freedom of information." Banned Books Week takes place Oct 5-11 and this year's theme is "Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights." Below are some thought provoking non fiction as well as fictional titles about free speech and censorship. *https://www.constitutionday.com/index.html **https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/censorship
