Part 2. Respond to the following essay prompts:1. Identify the constitutional amendments that pertain to education and discuss the importance of each to the effective operation of public schools. 2. Discuss the concept of precedent and its implication for court decisions affecting public schools.
Please include the following from my teachers comments about the previous paper it needs to have 1, 4, 5, 10 and 14 th amendments
The response is limited to two Amendments 10th and 14th, omitting the 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments. First Amendment provides students and staff members protection of the law for their freedom of speech, the freedom of expression or press, and the freedom of religion. While schools do have some power to censor aspects of the First Amendment, the courts have been careful not to infringe on student or staff First Amendment rights.
The Fourth Amendment – This amendment gives staff and students a level of privacy. Much like the First Amendment, schools do have some ability to ignore privacy as long as the districts can prove that it was essential to the educational process.
The Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings. … It also requires that “due process of law” be part of any proceeding that denies a citizen “life, liberty or property” and requires the government to compensate citizens when it takes private property for public use.
