OPINION: How the 1st Amendment Affects Students
By Amy Jenne, History and Educational Studies
Many students have heard of the First Amendment and know about freedom of expression and speech. However, I doubt many know the specifics of how the First Amendment protects you as a student. In 1969, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines that students do not lose their constitutional rights, as given to them in the First Amendment, when they step foot onto school property. Public school officials, such as teachers, are prohibited from censoring student speech.

Pop-rock artist Nathan Angelo sang “there’s air to breathe, life to live, then I’ve got a song to sing,” during his performance last Friday.
Originally from Atlanta, Ga., Angelo is currently on an East Coast college campus tour. This is his second performance at George Mason University.
A couple of years ago, a friend of his invited him to play here. He came back with his drummer, Johnny B., who grew up around the Northern Virginia area and reminisced while driving to this event.
“Students want to find new things and share music, so it gets my music out there,” said Angelo.

“I was a public school special education teacher for many years,” said Rioux-Bailey, who now teaches in the special education department at Mason. “I think they like how I walked the walk.”
Community Rallies to Save Professor
By Broadside Staff Writer Marian McLaughlin
For the past two semesters, students from a broad spectrum of majors have banded together to do one thing: Keep Kirby. Kirby Malone, an assistant art professor at George Mason University, is facing possible dismissal and job termination after this semester, and students want to know why. Malone works inside of the InterArts program, which bridges together all forms of art and media, from fine art to performance work. Through his classes, Malone not only helps integrate these different mediums, but he makes his students more aware of social and global issues.
