Responding To Hate Speech or Hate Crimes at School
Responding To Hate Speech or Hate Crimes at School
One of the simplest measures of a school's commitment to respect is the quality of interaction in its hallways. The use of put-downs and epitaphs, physical intimidation or visual messages of hate creates a toxic environment for learning and growth.
The 1st amendment may protect student’s right to say, write, or display a sense of words and symbols but courts have ruled that schools can discipline behavior, including speech, that is disruptive to the educational process. Perhaps the best approach in balancing 1st amendment rights with other concerns is to stress the importance of a safe atmosphere in which every student is treated with respect.
