CONSTITUTION WEEK ACTIVITY



Goodwin College Celebrates the birthday of the United States of America government during Constitution Week beginning today, September 16.

On Monday, Sept. 19 at 2:30 p.m. in the Community Room, join us as Dr. Harold Schramm examines the landmark case, Snyder v. Phelps, and the extent of free speech in the United States. Light refreshments will be served.

In March, the Supreme Court ruled in Snyder v. Phelps that the Westboro Baptist Church had the right to protest military funerals, despite strong emotional reactions to the group, its mission, and its role in promoting intolerance.

The Library Advocacy Committee is sponsoring a discussion on the Constitution by faculty members on Friday, September 23, in the auditorium. Time will be announced next week.

Please look at the display on the Constitution by the elevators and the book exhibit in the library. In the library, volunteer to take a short quiz on the Constitution and enter a drawing for a MYSTERY prize.
