Assignment #8

Well, after looking at both topics I wanted to talk about Free speech off campus must be protected by Frank D. LoMonte.
This topic is about how the laws are being made on students to be aware of what they say or what they put up in their daily life sites such as my-space, Facebook and many more. Frank used many examples from others experiences to people to be careful and watch out on what they put on their Facebook and other sites that they use the most. He also mentioned that a student from University of Minnesota had gone to court because she wrote that how her and her friends gave their cadaver a nickname and about stabbing someone with knife. Moreover, many people say that person could have been her ex-boyfriend and one of her classmate read those messaged and than forwarded them to the University of Minnesota authorities. Even though Tatro had no intention of hurting anyone, she was charged and disciplined. Well to me people can say anything they want to because its a freedom of speech no one can say anything to someone like Tatro posted something on her friends wall. And I picked this topic because everyone jokes around and say something but that doesn't mean that they have intention of doing something. I think students should not be charged for writing something on their friends wall like I mentioned on my previous people joke around they say funny things and call each other names that doesn't mean anything bad, but I guess now people should be more careful on what they say and to whom they say it.
