 The First Amendment gives us the rights of freedom of speech, press, and religion.  They are the fundamental rights our country was founded on.  The Duggars have the right to their own opinions concerning their own religious views.  This is what democracy is about.

 

If you don't like the themes/discussions of a TV show, TURN THE CHANNEL.  No one forces you to watch a particular show.

And everyone who petitions TLC to cancel the show has a first amendment right to do so as well.  They have the right to express to the network that they find the message the Duggars promote to be hateful, inaccurate and prejudicial.  It is ultimately up to the network to decide if it is worth the damage to its image to continue to support people with such views.  

The first amendment protects you from being mistreated by the government for expressing your views publicly.  But it doesn't protect you from being fired for doing so.
