Does the Constitution protect anything a kid says in school?
The First Amendment gives free speech rights to everyone, young and old, but that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want in school whenever you want. If that were the rule, nothing would get done!
Is there anything else you want to tell kids about the Constitution?
Our Constitution is the oldest written constitution in the world. As you grow older, you will have the right under the Constitution to vote, to serve on juries, to run for political office and to participate in government in other ways. So get ready: Study the Constitution. Remember, the Framers designed the Constitution for you -- but you have to make it work.
-- Valerie Strauss
