Target Audience(s):

Short Session Description (one line): This session will discuss the constitutional relationships between intellectual curiosity and exploration, the right to privacy, the right to receive information, and the freedom of thought. 

Full Session Description (as long as you would like): In our constitutional system, no official, high or petty, should prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. Intellectual exploration is a prequisite to a free society; it shall not be infringed by government proscription as such proscription is a step towards authoritarianism. This session explores the constitutional relationships between intellectual curiosity and exploration, the right to privacy, the right to receive information, and the freedom of thought.
