For the sustainment of society, the founding fathers understood the principles of open discourse, freedom of thought, right to hold beliefs, and risk to explore perceived improvement to all these concepts. This is why the education wing wants to destroy any sense of unity by any means possible. Opportunity was the vehicle for progress to be made to improve the condition of self, and others. The accelerated pace of improvements from discoveries to inventions needed to be controlled, siphoned, and prioritized as projects under strict supervision.
Progress for us all lies in the acknowledgement of our collective potential in an unhindered world focused on tomorrow. When we work together, cooperatively, adhering the principles of the First Amendment, we focus on what works as a whole and discard the unuseful through a series of debates. This discarding part is crucial as it leads to improvements on the originally agreed upon plan of action.
For speech, we have laws that differentiate the legal from the illegal.
For religion, we have the right to practice our own (this focuses on the individual more than anyone gives it credit for).
For peaceable gatherings (assemblies), we have that right no matter what is happening. The constitution doesn't stop for pandemics.
For press, we have a right to expose the truth. CRUCIAL.
In a environment where this bedrock amendment is under attack, people need to wake up and realize that this is just a smaller part of what's happening out there. We are not servants to usurpers of God's creation. We're God's creation seeking to fulfill his promise of exercising our potential. Anything that stands in the way of that should be looked at as an area of improvement/correction.
