Review Term of the Day....

.... and some secret information for those who faithfully check the blog.... the test will have to be shifted one more day - we will test on the judiciary on Tuesday the 18th. The reason? Mark Kirk will be at SHS on Monday, talking about China and Iran! More details will be given in class. We don't want to miss out on this great opportunity. Don't worry - we will have enough time for Congress - we'll make it work.

Anyway, back to review:

Buzzword of the day: symbolic speech

What it means: forms of free speech guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution, such as wearing a black armband to protest a governmental action or burning an American flag in protest for political reasons. Court case examples include Tinker v. Des Moines (armbands) and Texas v. Johnson (flag).
