Educators, parents, and students are facing increasing threats to their freedoms. Why? Because government officials are silencing speech that they disagree with and punishing Americans for engaging in honest discussion and debate.
Some policies seek to compel educators and students to express messages that aren’t true, or ones that violate their beliefs. These unlawful directives force educators to deceive and mislead parents and students about plain truths, and to speak messages with which they disagree—or face punishment.
But don’t educators and students alike have the right to live and speak according to their beliefs, without fear of punishment? And don’t parents have the right to direct the upbringing and education of their children? Or do those rights expire once a student passes through the schoolhouse door?
The K-12 Educators’ Guide helps you champion free speech in the classroom. In this guide to the First Amendment, you’ll learn about the rights of parents, teachers, and students in education, and get answers to important questions like:
- Is it legal to teach about religion in the classroom?
- Can I share my faith, study the Bible, or pray at school?
- Am I allowed to display religious symbols or visuals in the classroom?
- Can I lead an after-school Bible study?
