Free Speech Off Campus Must Be Protected

This article is about student named Amanda  Tatro  who attends the University of Minnesota. She got in trouble for posting some threats on her Facebook page that resulted in her failing the class and forced to take a psychiatric exam. The university is trying to argue that this doesn't fall under freedom of speech and the supreme court accepted it, but lawyers are trying to convince the judges that it does. The ruling will likely com out in the next three to five months, and if Amanda Tatro loses, she said she will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
I personally chose this article out of the three because I'm not really into politics so i skipped the first one, and the one about the pigs made no sense to me, I found it hard to understand. So I thought this one would be the easiest one to work with and write a paper about
