            Should college students have their own right to their own language?  Absolutely, if they couldn’t be able too then where is their first amendment being implied? According to the article, “Students Right to Their Own Language” it’s a right students have that was passed on by Executive Committee in 1973 at the Philadelphia NCTE meeting. “The dialects of their nurture or whatever dialects in which they find their own identity and style.” This mean students have the right to speak their mind without hesitating. If it’s part of their identity and is what they believe in then they shouldn’t be punished. We have a right for our voices to be heard even if other don’t believe or agree with us.

            Back in 1988 a group called NWA wrote a song called “Fuck tha Police”. Should we able to write about something that might cause trouble? Yes. Everyone has their reason on calling out people or idea’s they don’t agree on. NWA just didn’t make this song for the hell out of it. They had reason which was calling out the police for their racist and discrimination behavior towards African Americans. If the police at the time treated everybody with respect then there wouldn’t be need for all the drama. You can’t be punished for writing what you believe in. This goes for college students too we can’t be manipulated to follow what other believe in. We need to believe on what we think is right and speak our mind.

            College students should have their right to their own language. People may agree with me or not, but that’s okay we all have different opinions.
