First Amendment Report Card – Spring 2017
Rarely in our lifetimes has there been more controversy about the state of our First Amendment freedoms. It is critically important for our nation to have serious discussions about the threats and opportunities we face in maintaining and trying to enhance our democracy.
The Newseum Institute, the nation’s pre-eminent organization that explains, promotes and defends the five freedoms of the First Amendment, is launching a quarterly “report card†that will evaluate the state of each of the five freedoms of the First Amendment in the age of Donald Trump. Our report card seeks to go beyond often partisan ad hoc observations to provide a credible and systematic evaluation of freedom based on grades provided by a diverse set of some of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars and observers.
