KIDS TALK BACK:Freedoms we enjoy

The Daily Pilot asked Eastbluff Elementary School sixth-graders during Black History Month, “Which civil right do you value the most?”

“The freedom that

you can always say

what you want,

because I always like to

hear my dad making

points.”

Casey Mix, 12

Newport Beach

“Freedom of speech

and freedom of religion

— that you can think

and say what you

want.”

Catherine Patel, 12

Newport Beach

“That all people are

treated equally. It

makes it easier because

we can hang out with

all different kids and do

the same things they

do.”

Reed Wolonsky, 12

Newport Beach

“I think the two most

important for me are

that all people are

created equal and

allowing women the

right to vote.”

Alexandria Mote, 12

Newport Beach

“I think the rights of

the First Amendment

— freedom of speech,

freedom of religion and

freedom of the press.”

John Pagliassotti, 12
