A First Amendment Academy provides 15 interactive, self-guided courses and 25 short quizzes covering religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. Freedom Forum and Newswell developed the academy in partnership with Arizona State University and host the courses on ASU's platform. Each course requires roughly 10 to 20 minutes to complete and includes real-world examples. Course registration is required through ASU, while quizzes are viewable on the academy website without registration. Development took roughly nine months and responds to survey findings that many Americans misunderstand or cannot identify all five First Amendment freedoms.
Americans can now take over a dozen free, online courses hosted by Arizona State University to learn more about their First Amendment rights, thanks to a new partnership between two nonprofits. The initiative, dubbed the First Amendment Academy, includes 15 interactive, self-guided courses covering the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment - religion, speech, press, assembly and petition - as well as 25 short quizzes.
"The First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy, our ability as citizens to live our lives in any number of ways. I just don't think people understand that well enough," Freedom Forum vice president and First Amendment expert Kevin Goldberg said. "So we're trying to supplement that in a way that will really make it resonate and have them take ownership of the First Amendment for themselves in their lives."
