Free Speech On Social Media: Unrestricted Or Regulated?, Alessandra Garcia Guevara
Student Writing
Social media has evolved into an essential mode of communication in recent years, allowing people to express their thoughts with the audience of their choice by sending private messages, posting their thoughts, or sharing their opinions. Such audiences can come from all over the world because this online technology breaks down geographic, linguistic, and cultural barriers.

Education Is Speech: Parental Free Speech In Education, Philip A. Hamburger
Faculty Scholarship
Education is speech. This simple point is profoundly important. Yet it rarely gets attention in the First Amendment and education scholarship.

Under both the federal and state speech guarantees, states cannot pressure parents, either directly or through conditions, to give up their own educational speech, let alone substitute state educational speech.
