Freedom of Speech (1791)

“In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words, subjects and ideas they don’t like; that’s disastrous for education—and mental health”, according to Lukianoff and Haidt.
Catastrophizing

"A kind of magnification that turns commonplace negative events into nightmarish monsters”, according to Burns.

Magnification

Burns defines, "magnification as exaggerat[ing] the importance of things."

Microagressions

“Microagressions are small actions or word choices that seem on their face to have no malicious intent but that are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless”, as defined by Lukianoff and Haidt.

Vindictive Protectiveness

"When speech comes to be seen as a form of violence, vindictive protectiveness can justify a hostile, and perhaps even violent, response”, as defined by Lukianoff and Haidt.

Trigger Warnings (verbal)

II. “Motivated reasoning”, “the idea that words (or smells or any sensory input) can trigger searing memories of past trauma - and intense fear that it may be repeated, also, a long list of ideas and attitudes that some students find politically offensive, in the name of preventing other students from being harmed, finally, to issue warnings before covering material that might evoke a negative emotional response”, as defined by Lukianoff and Haidt.

I. Alerts that something in a course might cause a strong emotional response; if a student has been previously victimized by racism, domestic violence, etc. they can choose to avoid these works, which they believe might “trigger” a recurrence of past trauma.”

Unprotected Speech
Lewdness
Obscenity
Fighting Words

Words that "by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of peace." Fighting words are not subject to the restrictions of the First Amendment.

Symbolic Speech

Symbols, signs, and other methods of expression generally considered to be protected by the First Amendment.

Prior Restraint

Constitutional doctrine that prevents the government from prohibiting speech or publication before the fact; generally held to be in violation of the First Amendment.

The Constitution of the United States of America, Amendment I

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.
