Number 12, exercise 5.0:07
Listen to what Adam Downs from New York State says about personal freedom at school and do the task from exercise 5.0:12
In our school we certainly have personal freedom, but our school officials say that sometimes it is necessary to restrict it in order for people to live harmoniously.0:23
For example, school officials can search students lockers for guns and drugs.0:39
Athletes on school teams are asked to have a drug test in order to prove they are not cheating.0:46
Our school has a dress code which means that teens at school are not allowed to wear particular colors or shapeless clothes.0:54
Clothes several sizes too big.1:04
Pupils are not allowed to wear certain logos either due to reasons of morality.1:07
Girls are asked not to wear short skirts and T shirts that show their stomachs.1:13
Many books cannot be found in school libraries due to some sins which the school officials find immoral or harmful.1:20
For example, there are no Harry Potter books in our library because Harry Potter uses magic and magic is considered an occult or supernatural power.1:30
And this is true of many other American schools.1:45
School newspapers are also looked through by the officials to make sure there are no messages of racism or hatred in them or that nobody is hurt by an article.1:49
The majority of pupils in my school support our school officials right to restrict our personal freedom in this way, but some of them don't.2:01
