NYPD Bruce

Censorship Week post #2 of 2

Before he was banned by Starbucks there was Bruce Springsteen vs The NYPD. It's old news now but I stumbled over the following:

"On the news one night, you hear about Bruce Springsteen who is being
criticized for the lyrics in his song "American Skin". The critics are
saying that the singer's lyrics are "offensive" to all police officers and
those who support them. They feel something should be done to block
this song from being played on the radio. Others feel that it is a
constitutional issue revolving around citizens' freedom of speech.
Who are you? Where do you stand on this issue?
"

Teach your kids about freedom of speech in this role playing exercise
