Think about the images this man is holding up.

What is their

message?

Challenge task: what

world event are these drawings linked to? How did

you know?

Francis by no means said the violent attack on Charlie Hebdo

was justified. Quite the opposite: He said such horrific

violence in God's name couldn't be justified and was an

"aberration." But he said a reaction of some sort was to be

expected.

Nevertheless, those people who react to this event by

proclaiming that free speech – and, by extension, a free press (the freedom

to print whatever you want to) – is an absolute right.

Debate it!

Do we have the right to say whatever we want to?

Is it more important to express your opinion or to protect and look out for the feelings of others?

Spend 5 minutes discussing on your tables and then we’ll discuss it as a class.
