1. Some may argue that the "freedom of speech" amendment may go too far because of how far it can get. It allows the words of many to go out, even without needing justification or truth behind them. It makes some wonder we are given too MUCH freedom to express ourselves.
2. Almontaser was put in a bad spotlight. After controversy over a tshirt's wording, she resigned from her job as principal of an elementary school. I feel the public twisted her words so much and might have even ruined her life for good. All the media did was twist her words and make her look as if her intentions were wrongful, only they were no where close to it. This was an unnecessary problem that gave attention to a problem that wasn't even apparent.
3. A professor from the Univesity of Colorado was fired after he created an article over the attack on 9/11 that sparked people's attention in bad ways. Freedom of speech allows honestly anyone to say anything they want, true or false, boardline uncalled for, etc.
