Lesson Topic
Civil Liberties & Civil Rights
Lesson Outline
Civil liberties are the constitutional freedoms that citizens have from the government, while civil rights are laws meant to protect citizens from discrimination. In the US, there are many civil liberties, including the freedom of religion, the freedom to assemble and protest, the freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial, and the freedom of the press. The Civil Rights Movement from 1954-1968 is responsible for many of the civil rights that US citizens enjoy today. The Miranda v. Arizona case established the right to being advised of the right to counsel, the right not to testify against oneself, and the right to a fair trial. Previously, these were civil liberties, but they were not civil rights until Ernesto Miranda was not properly advised of his rights. To this day, Miranda rights must be read to anyone who is being arrested. The Engel v. Vitale case established the civil rights of public schools not being allowed to have voluntary prayer in public schools. Civil Liberties are stated in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

Lesson Comments
Today was another remote lesson. Bella was not at home today. She was dog sitting for a family friend. She was aware that it's an Orange Week and that break is from 11:45 - 12:00 this week. She asked to be excused 15 minutes early as her dad was on his way there to bring her lunch.
