The First Amendment and freedom of speech are being battled daily. But the First Amendment is not just the written or spoken word, it’s also the freedom of expression.

She was disturbed about the lack of civics education in the U.S. Lynn is the author of When Freedom Speaks: The Boundaries and Boundlessness of Our First Amendment Right.
