Freedom Of Speech... But Don't Take It Too Far!!

In my Humanities Class, Policy, we finished our last term of this class. I am so happy that I was able to take this class because I now know what I want to be in life because of this class. This class helped me realized that I willIn class, we have been learning a lot about the Supreme Court and the types of power that this court has. For this AP, we had to chose a certain case and talk about how that certain case was involved with this case.

Hutchinson was appointed to take over Senator Debbie Halvorson's seat. She serves in the Agriculture and Conservation committee, Labor committee, Local Government committee, State Government and Veteran Affairs (V.C...
