The issue that interests me the most is the one about student free speech. This issue interests me the most because I believe that students should not be punished for what they put on Myspace or Facebook by their teachers or principals for something they do not do in school. Of course though, if they do put something there that makes their school look bad, then they should be punished. This issue really interests me because you have to look at all of the sides of this issue and not just one.

The issue that interests me the most is the student freedom of speech. It's like saying that if we say something or do something not to their liking,we would be punished.I don't think that the right named "student freedom if speech" means what it titles, then again if the things that the child did was directly insulting to the school they should be punished. But they shouldn't have our freedom used as a figure head to make the school the best.

The freedom of speech one for students is a very good one to do especially from a student's point of view... there have been many landmark cases in specific student presses where the supreme court made rulings. It is a very complex issue and if it is something you are interested in, you may want to get behind it.

The issue that interests me most is about gun control and the ban on assault weapons. I think people have the right to own weapons to defend their family from breakins but they do not need assault weapons.
