California Passes Teacher Protection Bill
Who are media critics? What do they do?
What kind of protection do teachers have from retaliation by your school administration because your high school students have exercised their freedom of speech? In California, thanks to a new law, quite a lot. Read about it on the Student Press Law Center’s website: http://splc.org/newsflash.asp?id=1817&year
And while you at it, bookmark the SPLC’s website. It’s a great source for news about legal issues affecting both high school and college newspapers.
