The Council for America's First Freedom announces the 15th annual First Freedom Student Competition. This first-semester national essay contest offers 9 th - 12th grade students an opportunity to compete for a $3,000, $1,500 and $750 award, as they examine the First Amendment and the history and relevance of religious freedom in America and the world today.
This year participating students will enjoy being a part of a scenario, in which, their senator has invited select high-school students from public, private, parochial and home-school regions to prepare a research essay to be read at a congressional hearing. The essay will address the topic: "Free exercise is an essential component of the First Amendment's definition of religious freedom. What did free exercise mean when it was first ratified and became part of the Constitution? How is it interpreted today? Is the free exercise of religion adequately protected in America's public schools today?"
In preparation for this hypothetical presentation to Congress, students will touch on colonial history, current events, and the impact of the First Amendment and other key documents. For more details on the topic, competition guidelines and registration, and for a bulletin-board poster and student flyer, visit http://www.firstfreedom.org/ , and then click on the red button under Council News.
