Freedom of Expression Deal With It

Deal with it before you are censored

by Danielle S. McLaughlin

illustrated by Paris Alleyne

Everyone has the right to express their opinions and attitudes, but what happens when these rights conflict with the rights or safety of others?

Can you say anything you want? Should you?

Everyone has rights but navigating your rights can be difficult. You have the right to freedom of expression but there are many places where this freedom is limited by laws, rules and regulations, or even customs such as good manners.

By exploring the viewpoints of The Censor, The Speechmaker and The Witness, this book will help you navigate issues of how to express identity and opinion.

  • Freedom of Expression 101 defines rights, freedom of expression and censorship
  • Dear Conflict Counsellor offers real-life problems and solutions
  • Quizzes test your ability to identify censorship and how to deal with issues around freedom of expression
  • A resource guide puts helpful organizations, books and websites at your fingertips
