First Amendment; Freedom Of Speech; Obscenity; Pinkus V. United States, Cary Douglass Caesa

Akron Law Review

“In its latest attempt to define a workable standard for obscenity rulings, the United States Supreme Court has held that children may not be included in a court's instruction as to the social group to whom the material would or would not be obscene. However, the Court held that sensitive persons and deviant groups may be included without unduly lowering the threshold of a finding of obscenity. Thus, Pinkus v. United States clarified the "community" whose judgment should define obscenity.”

The freedom of expression in the American military is an ongoing issue, especially concerning the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, tattoo policy, and freedom of speech. In 1993, the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy affected homosexuals serving in the military by restricting LGBT members from serving our country, resulting in issues that rippled throughout the country. This restriction was repealed in 2010, and controversy concerning the subject is ongoing.
