First Amendment Free Food Festival: 10/22/13

FAFFFThe Society for Collegiate Journalists is holding an event on Tuesday, October 22nd from 11:30am-12:30pm in Wolf Plaza. The event is called the First Amendment Free Food Festival and it is a huge role playing exercise where a fake country is set up. Students mock-sign away their First Amendment rights for free food. The "government" of the fake country will regulate them and keep them from assembling and control their behavior. Basically, the exercise is designed to demonstrate the importance of free speech and First Amendment rights.
