Humanist Perspectives: Civics for Adults - Amendment 1 of the Constitution

Civics for Adults - Exploring The First Amendment of the Constitution. We'll watch several short videos on it, then lead a discussion on Amendment 1.

The First Amendment addresses several fundamental freedoms, especially the separation of church and state, although it is obscure. Other freedoms include freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition. We sure had some amazing founders although some people disagree on how the amendment is interpreted, and if Trump is elected, he promises to do away with it. Here is all of Amendment 1, plain and simple.

Amendment I: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".

Civics for Adults is a new semi-regular series of Humanist Perspectives
with other Civics topics in future sessions.

Humanist Perspectives is a combined monthly program with the Hub and Jefferson Humanists on the 3rd Saturday at 4:00 pm. Come to the Hub to see the show, with discussions, followed by socializing, a potluck dinner, and a free concert. Feel free to BYOB (beer and wine are OK) or an appetizer to share.
