Description

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.
