Quality education depends on preserving a teacherā€™s freedom of expression and habits of openmindedness and critical inquiry. But in the classroom or the community, teachers may find their principles and standards challenged by school authorities or public officials. This essential handbook describes the legal recourses and remedies available when injustices occur.
The Rights of Teachers focuses on constitutionally protected activities in the classroom, with parents and students, and outside the school. It includes vital information on suing under civil rights acts for monetary and injunctive relief when a teacherā€™s rights are violated.
