The "Butt Art" Case. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2010, Pages: 56
This article discusses American constitutional freedom of speech. The U.S. Supreme Court has crafted exceptions to this protection, including communications that constitute a 'clear and present danger'; 'fighting words'; obscenity; and/or defamation, each which is elaborated upon herein. Additionally, there is a 'hybrid' area of expression, for example, communications that require governmental regulation or which receive federal, state or local governmental financial funding, that the Court has held to be entitled to a limited, or restricted constitutional protection. A particular focus is the highlight upon a 2008 Virginia litigation involving a public school teacher's termination arising out his display and sale of his questionable art' The paper concludes with a brief summary of applicable Irish and German law, both constitutional and statutory, with a projection of how this case might have been decided, had the instance occurred there.
