| Summary |
Dupre examines the history of the debate on free speech in schools in the contexts of protests, student publications, religious speech, textbook selection, teacher speech, and civility. She also includes as a case study the Alaska case of the students who sued when suspended for displaying a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner. Well written, insightful, and occasionally humorous, this book is a great study of free speech in schools. -- Mark Bay "Library Journal" (01/15/2009) |
