Abstract
Freedom of speech in the American education system is an issue that is brought up with every generation. No matter who is near education, someone believes what is being taught is not protected by the First Amendment. It is not just professors that need to worry, as speech codes on campuses have been used against the very people they were intended to protect. It is important to note we will also be discussing the larger ripple effects that censorship in a classroom can have, as well as the effect that this censorship has on students and professors.
