iPaws 6, article 4, Freedom of Religion and Press : North County Times: "Ohio pastor apologizes for Halloween pamphlets"

http://www.nctimes.com/ap/national/ohio-pastor-apologizes-for-halloween-pamphlets/article_395940a8-8e8f-5960-8beb-1baedac2b45f.html

1. A pastor in Ohio apologized for giving out inappropriate halloween pamphlets. In the pamphlets, it has a story where three children die. The pastor apologizes, and says the church was careless. He says that the church doesn't do thoses sort of scare tactics. the church gives out pamphlets every year. The pastor says the pamphlets were indeed inappropriate for children.

2. This article connects to what we are learning in class, because the church was using the freedom of press. The church used the pamphlets to symbolize how they felt. They also used freedom of religion, since the church has the right to believe in what religion they'd like. Both of these are part of the first amendment. Even though the pamphlets were inappropriate, it still showed how the church actually felt of their religion through the pamphlets

3. This article connects to my life because I also have the right of press and  religion, since I am a citizen of the U.S. I have the right to believe in any religion of my choice and to put what I want on newspapers, magazines, etc. So if I were to give out pamphlets like what the church did, I can put how I feel on those pamphlets. It is common for people to express feelings on newspapers and magazines, and luckily we have such a freedom.

4. I believe that even though the church had the right to put what they wanted on the paamphlet, I think they took it too far. To put death and killing on a pamphlet given to kids is crossing the line. The pastor is right saying the church was too careless. I am glad he took responsibility for his actions. Putting such actions on the pamphlets to kids was going too far, and it doesn't fit the occasion for kids having fun. Sure Halloween should be scary, but it shouldn't affect how kids think.
