COMMUNITY MEDIA CENTER-MEDIA LITERACY WEEK FIRST AMENDMENT QUOTE (click for more info)

Today's WYCE Day Sponsorship comes to you from the Community Media Center, proudly showcasing the importance of Media Literacy this week.

In honor of media literacy week, the Community Media Center is proud to present this first amendment quote of the day from first amendment lawyer and free-speech activist, Floyd Abrams:

"It just seems to be a human trait to want to protect the speech of people with whom we agree. For the First Amendment, that is not good enough. So it is really important that we protect First Amendment rights of people no matter what side of the line they are on."
