and hear the potential answers i want All right well
- 00:24
the right of association falls under that constitutional all star
- 00:27
right of assembly One of the five freedoms listed in
- 00:31
the first amendment right to exclude basically means that under
- 00:34
our constitutionally protected right to gather together we're allowed to
- 00:38
turn people away from our hangout sesh free Speaking of
- 00:43
which let's See which of these court cases tested the
- 00:45
bounds of government interference with the group's ability Teo freely
- 00:49
associate All right Did the supreme court ruled that the
- 00:52
right of association includes a right of exclusion in texas
- 00:55
v johnson And we're getting a little overheated with all
- 00:58
this constitutional talk especially because texas v johnson de criminalized
- 01:03
the burning of american flags as a protection of free
- 01:07
speech So we can was the right of exclusion protected
- 01:12
by the supreme court in be tinker v des moines
- 01:15
Well we know high school dress codes can be such
- 01:18
a drag but imagine taking our protests all the way
- 01:20
to supreme court Pretty fashionable right Well that's What happened
- 01:24
in tinker v des moines where three students decried suspension
- 01:28
wearing black armbands to protest the vietnam war And guess
- 01:32
what The students one since the court Ruled that the
- 01:36
suspension was an unconstitutional suppression of the students right to
- 01:39
free speech With that we can really be did The
- 01:43
supreme court deal with the right of association in c
- 01:46
brandenburg v ohio knew that case had to do with
- 01:51
freedom of speech is well but let's be clear brandenburg
- 01:54
was pretty terrible since he was the leader of a
- 01:56
ku klux klan group in rural ohio At a meeting
- 02:00
brandenburg said that he wanted to do some pretty unspeakable
- 02:03
things to people he didn't really like and he was
- 02:06
arrested for his inflammatory language The supreme court however reversed
- 02:10
the decision claiming that brandenburg could say whatever awful thing
- 02:13
he wanted just so long as he didn't directly command
- 02:17
people that commit violent acts in the name of those
- 02:20
awful things No option c can go as well What
- 02:23
about e roth The u s well roth the u
- 02:27
s was super obscene literally The supreme court ruled in
- 02:31
the nineteen fifty seven case that obscenity meaning offensive or
- 02:35
sexually explicit materials was not protected under freedom of speech
- 02:40
or freedom of the press Basically if one's smutty materials
- 02:45
don't have any redeeming social value well then they're out
- 02:48
of luck which means the supreme court held the right
- 02:50
of association to include a right of exclusion in boy
- 02:53
scouts v dale In this two thousand case the boy
- 02:56
scouts of america were sued for excluding gay members Not
- 02:59
so super troopers right But the supreme court said the
- 03:02
boy scouts right to exclude whomever they wanted was protected
- 03:06
by the first amendment's guarantee of free assembly and association
- 03:11
So d is the right answer Free association essentially means
- 03:14
that group's heir free to associate with whoever they want
- 03:17
and because the boy scouts are private organizations they're allowed
- 03:20
to discriminate any way they want We guess tolerance isn't 00:03:24.308 --> [endTime] popular merit Badge no
