Clarifying the Lines
As we learned during this module, students do not give up their right to free speech at the schoolhouse gate, but schools must also ensure that the educational goals for all students are not compromised. Use the questions to guide an original response and comments on the posts of at least two classmates.
When have you experienced a situation that has blurred the line between student expression and school safety or discipline?
How did your school handle the situation?
If you have not experienced such a situation, find a case study, and describe how you/your school might react.
