Teachers Strike at 10 Catholic High Schools. This article has to do with freedom of speech and freedom of religion. this article talks about teachers going on strike because the Archdiocese is not giving catholic schools any money.
Shortly before the arrival of the Pope arrived in New York, many lay teachers went on strike. Their frustration was a result of the denial of their petition to have the Archdiocese reduce the time frame of their contract to three years from the previously agreed four years. Many of the schools in the area closed early as a result of the missing teachers. Other schools accepted the terms of the new contract and continued with school as usual.
This has to do with the first amendment. Number one it does have to do with the catholic religion because it deals with the pope. He came because the catholic votes still matter to most Catholic people. So you do have your own choice of religion. You choose for yourself. You also have the right to speak what religion you believe in. This does have to do with the first amendment.
People in San Francisco protest to light the torch in Beijing. People are against the torch being lit in China. Throughout the streets of San Francisco many people are rallying to help change the root of the torch lighting. These people are expressing the freedom of assembly. This is a very good example of right of assembly because these people are standing up for what they believe in peacefully. Even if the people are strongly against the torch being lit they are making a point without being defensive. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080408/sp_nm/olympics_torch_s
The pope visiting America is fine, because of the first amendment; free exercise of religion cannot be stopped. Here is the link to the article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/15/pope.us/index.html

Catholic Teachers go on Strike

Alex,
Why shouldn't the Pope be able to preach on TV? Doesn't that already happen? How does that affect freedom on religion?
Ms. Linda
Astra,
Good post
