Freedom of expression is under attack in American movie culture.

Defending our first amendment right was the Philosophy Club with a special screening of “This Film Is Not Yet Rated.”

The movie was a documentary directed by Kirby Dick. It focuses on the corruption of modern media a.k.a. censorship.

In its conception, censorship is a morally responsible form of regulation. It is incorporated into media through a rating system. Everyone is familiar with G, PG, PG-13, R, and NS-17 ratings.

An organization known as the Motion Picture Association of America, located in Encino, Calif., is responsible for assigning every movie made for public viewing with a rating.

After the screening, William Dearth, a mathematics major, said, “I agree with some censorship, but not all of it”
