Agenda- 1/15 1.Warmup: Flag Murals Article (LS) 2.Lecture: Ch. 19 (RS) 3.Project Time 4.HW:-Work on project

Warm-up: School Murals Case Situation: A high school has set a precedent of allowing student groups to paint murals on school walls. The Model United Nations Club wants to paint a mural about 1st Amendment rights, including a picture of a burning American flag to symbolize free expression. The school administration tells the club they can’t paint a mural that includes a burning flag. Question: If you were a judge, and this case appeared in your courtroom (with the students challenging the administration’s decision), what would be your ruling? Justify it using the Bill of Rights. When finished, come up, grab the actual article and compare your ruling to the actual ruling. Flag Burning clipLSU clip
