Moderated by Discovering Justice’s Courthouse Programs Manager, Henry Schunk, this virtual event is an opportunity for students to learn more about their rights to free speech. The discussion will focus on the issue of “unpopular speech” and its place, or lack thereof, in schools—recently, guest speaker events at MIT and the Middlesex School in Concord, MA have been cancelled because of the speaker’s political views. This topical event complements Discovering Justice’s fall Mock Trial Program, in which students are learning about and debating these same precedents and arguments in their case, which is centered around unpopular speech in a Massachusetts middle school.
