Review of Students' Rights: Then and Now


This story starts out with a great old sound clip, and a necessary (but clear and entertaining) explanation of historical background.
This leads on to an interesting discussion of this case's implications in light of the war in Iraq. The issues in the piece, which could be complicated and confusing if presented in the wrong way, are presented so that they're easy to understand and listen to.
"Students' Rights: Then and Now" would be an excellent addition to any show dealing with a youth perspective on the war in Iraq, or a show about the First Amendment, either today or throughout history.
