Description

With extensive restructuring and new content, this updated casebook addresses legal and public policy issues affecting K-12 as well as higher education, including expanded coverage of First Amendment issues in both sectors. The book maintains its strong focus on equal access to quality education, its policy emphasis, and its groundbreaking analyses of technology-related issues and the education of LGBTQ+ students. Additional topical coverage includes campus safety and the criminal justice system, student discipline and due process, sexual harassment and assault, the rights of educators, bilingual education, disability rights law, the current status of affirmative action, school segregation and race-conscious remedies, religion in the schools and church/state separation, gender equity, free speech and expression and censorship, privacy law issues, the school-to-prison pipeline, cyber-bullying, school finance, the Every Student Succeeds Act, accountability and affordability in postsecondary education, charter school legal issues, and the embattled rights of undocumented students.
