5. FREEDOMS OF SPEECH AND BELIEF
Freedom of opinion and expression, and freedom of thought, are central to the
human rights doctrine. They are defined by Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal
Declaration. They assume it is better to let people find things out for themselves
and have their own say, rather than bottle them up by more or less authoritarian
means.
The freedoms of speech and belief sometimes come into conflict with other
rights. The use of such freedom to harm human beings for something they cannot
help, for example, such as their skin colour or ethnic origin, has led to much
debate about which right should prevail. We may never be relieved of our
responsibility to think or say the truth as we understand it, and yet we have no
right either to incite hatred toward other human beings. This bears careful
consideration.
The freedom of speech and belief has obvious implications for classroom life. It
can require teachers to make personal changes that may not be easy.
