Abstract:
Next week, the Wake County School Board will decide whether to cleanse the personnel record of former Enloe High School teacher Robert Escamilla. Escamilla was suspended, reprimanded and reassigned to another school after inviting Kamil Solomon to speak to students about his government persecution in Egypt. Instead, Solomon talked about the evil of Islam. Escamilla believes students need exposure to different views to receive an education, but hate speech and the persecution of religious groups has no place in the public school system.

Abstract:
Perhaps there is no more visible expression of the right of free speech than citizens marching down a street to make their views on a subject known. From a local government standpoint the parade is not \"free\" because streets have to be rerouted, extra police hours are needed and the cleanup afterwards--all require extra money from the local budget. Many state cities and towns charge a fee for the parade permit to help defray the costs to the local budget. This Bulletin examines the constitutional limitations on charging fees to parade participants and organizers.

Abstract:
Phone sex is a growing as a cultural phenomenon and the increase in ads for phone sex in The Independent Weekly has some readers and staff concerned. The periodical has continued to run the ads due to the money from the advertisements which go towards reporting and writing the paper, an increased use of 900 calls in the Raleigh-Durham area, and their anti-censorship stance. The Independent is cautious and does monitor the content of the ad and is aware of the decreased readership that may happen if they run too many ads or allow explicit ads to be printed.
