Hey guys, here is tomorrow's video, the latest episode of Supreme Court Briefs. You may be wondering why I chose to cover this somewhat obscure case. There are two reasons. 

1) I student taught at Westside High School in 2009 and wanted to film live on location there while I was in Omaha

2) I've been on a big First Amendment kick lately. This Amendment seems to be losing respect in the national dialogue, so that may have something to do with it.

I have a special kind of video coming up next week. I hope you'll like it!

I'd be curious about Stevens dissent. Odd that he's the only 1. Great video! I love learning more!

Thank you! All I read about Stevens is that he didn't think this was an Establishment Cause case, so that's why he was ok with the school district doing that.
