The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This is true for other fundamental rights, as well.
But far too often the rights of students are overlooked when it comes to the constitution. At the ACLU of Indiana, we have represented students' First Amendment rights in the courts, defending their right to free speech and to privacy. We also work proactively to defend students' rights in the state legislature.
