Civil liberties
The freedom of the people of America depends on the ability of the civil society to limit the power of the government. The restraints on the actions of the state against the citizens are known as civil liberties. For example, the amendments in the US constitution and the bill of rights are some of the constraints on the national government. Democratic nations have enacted laws that are meant to protect civil liberties. The paper describes student speech as one of the issues by the civil liberties that accord the students in institutions the right to express their opinions.
The university and high school students have faced several issues on the freedom of speech. One of the issues is on the campus speech and the behavior of the students as provided by the codes of conduct (Zubik, 88). Students have their first amendment rights that permit them to express their opinions so that they are heard. They might be having different grievances in the school, and the only way to be heard is to go out on the streets and chant their issues. Civil liberties have the right to defend the students in any case they are denied their fundamental freedom of speech.
A variety of factors have however created critics on the freedom of speech for the students. Students have poorly used the right to promote ethnicity and haul insults to the senior leaders in the state. The primary question that arises is that how will the civil liberties protect a student speech that insults a senior or promotes hatred among individuals students? (Zubik, 98) The civil liberties should sometimes delve into the first amendment rights of the students and get the pertinent stipulations that can be used to promote true civil freedom.

Contesting a punishment should be done from how the speech was conducted to encourage liberty but not to enhance public conflicts.
In conclusion, there are several amendments that civil liberties are working on which is intended to promote respect for individual rights. The freedom of student speech is one of the issues that civil liberties have tried to defend. The challenge that arises is whether to protect the freedom of speech or the law of the nation while contesting for the rights of the students.
