Pledge of Allegiance
In Lane v. Owens (03-B-1544, United States District Court, District of Colorado), the First Amendment was used to successfully argue that school children could not be compelled by law to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.231.179 (talk) 07:00, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- The Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) that it was a violation of the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause to require school children to recite the Pledge. If nobody does it before me, I add it to the article some time this week. SMP0328. (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Why no section on religious free speech?
There really needs to be a section on how somehow the government thinks it's a-ok (when actually it's unconstitutional) to prohibit religions and churches from endorsing certain political candidates. I came here looking for information on that and found none much to my dismay. --PaladinWriter (talk) 10:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Pretty sure political endorsements don't jive with tax-exempt status. --Cybercobra (talk) 12:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Be bold by adding reliably sourced material about that subject. SMP0328. (talk) 02:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
SB1070
Should'nt there be an addition or a change in the First Amendment that includes racial profiling. For so long African Americans have been racial profiled. Now we are back at this same place just with a different Race. I don't believe this is fair that someone has to go through life worring about whether they will be profiled because of the color of their skin, or they way they dress, their hair, or even the music they like. There should be a law that premits this from happening.

Fourteenth Amendment connection
In the lead paragraph, an un-footnoted sentence notes that the First Amendment restricts more than just Congress. I think there should be a separate section on how the Fourteenth Amendment modifies the First Amendment.
Barring that, I believe there should be a sub-headline called something like, Effect of the Fourteenth Amendment on the First.
Barring that, the lead section sentence on the Fourteenth should be footnoted. (fotoguzzi)69.64.235.42 (talk) 16:11, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
