What is the right way to demonstrate or protest? Why do so many people get upset or offended when people chose to "speak out" against something they feel is unjust? Protest speech is a form of free speech, and is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
Whether you are an athlete like Colin Kaepernick demonstrating against police violence or Native Americans protesting an oil pipeline at Standing Rock in North Dakota, your 1st Amendment rights are guaranteed regardless of what you are for or against. But many critics argue some protests or demonstrations are disrespectful and not done 'the right way.'
On this episode, Jasen Lee and Amy Donaldson discuss the rights of people to protest injustice and to "peaceably" assemble, and when that assembly results in a message being heard versus when the communication is ineffective. What is the 'right way' to protest or express your right to free speech?
