BLM News Article

 


Just over the weekend a monument in Charleston, South Carolina was vandalized.  It is a confederate monument and someone wrote Black Lives Matter in red paint on the statue.  This is an example of an action that is unprotected by the First Amendment.  If someone were to say Black Lives Matter and have a peaceful protest, like most of what occurred during the summer it would be a speech protected by the First Amendment.  Vandalizing a statue with the words Black Lives Matter is an unprotected action because it is illegal to vandalize statues, even though it could be seen as a racist one.
