Críticas:

Bring[s] fresh perspectives to an always vibrant area of the law...Dupre subtly makes the argument that the trend toward greater student speech rights since the 1960s has come at a cost to the larger "liberty of a nation."--Mark Walsh"Education Week" (01/21/2009)

Reseña del editor:

Just how much freedom of speech should high school students have? Does giving children and adolescents a far-reaching right of expression, without joining it to responsibility, ultimately result in an asylum that is run by its inmates?Since the late 1960s, the United States Supreme Court has struggled to clarify the contours of constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech rights for students. But, as this thought-provoking book contends, these court opinions have pitted students - and their litigious parents - against schools while undermining the schools' necessary disciplinary authority.In a clear and lively style, sprinkled with wry humor, Anne Profitt Dupre examines the way courts have wrestled with student expression in school. These fascinating cases deal with political protest, speech codes, student newspapers, book banning in school libraries, and the long-standing struggle over school prayer. Dupre also devotes an entire chapter to teacher speech rights. In the final chapter on the 2007 "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case, she asks what many people probably wondered: when the Supreme Court gave teenagers the right to wear black armbands in school to protest the Vietnam War, just how far does this right go? Did the Court also give students who just wanted to provoke their principal the right to post signs advocating drug use?Each chapter is full of insight into famous decisions and the inner workings of the courts. "Speaking Up" offers eye-opening history for students, teachers, lawyers, and parents seeking to understand how the law attempts to balance order and freedom in schools.
