Children And The First Amendment, John H. Garvey Jan 1979

Children And The First Amendment, John H. Garvey

Scholarly Articles

If children possess moral and political rights against the state, theories about these rights have scarcely progressed beyond first principles.

Flag Salute, Patriotic Exercises, And Students’ Rights, William A. Kaplin, Edward P. Jesella Jr. Jan 1972

Flag Salute, Patriotic Exercises, And Students’ Rights, William A. Kaplin, Edward P. Jesella Jr.

Scholarly Articles

The public school system is the major American social institution responsible for the transmission of our democratic heritage to present and future generations. In fulfilling this responsibility, the schools often confront problems involving their duty to inculcate students with a sense of patriotism. Probably the most controversial questions have concerned compulsory flag saluting and participation in patriotic exercises. Can a school demand that students salute the flag?

These recent decisions encompass issues occurring in civilian practice as well as issues peculiar to the military. Before any …


Obscenity In The Mails, Harvey L. Zuckman Jan 1960

Obscenity In The Mails, Harvey L. Zuckman

Scholarly Articles

For nearly one hundred years the federal government has had as one of its functions the suppression of mail trade in obscene and pornographic matter. The first federal enactment in this field provided that the mailing of an obscene book, pamphlet, picture, print, or other publication with knowledge of its nature was a misdemeanor. The present postal obscenity law' dates back to 1873 and is sometimes referred to as the Comstock Law because of the support given its passage by the notorious Anthony Comstock, agent for the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. While its original wording would …
