How the Supreme Court treats speech cases can be a mirror into that Court's soul, especially when the cases are about student speech. In this fascinating book, Anne Dupre reveals the deep inconsistencies and drunkard's reel of the jurisprudence in these cases, from the iconic Tinker through the recent Bong Hits 4 Jesus, and the difficulties that educators now face in regulating even threatening student speech. I have taught these cases many times, and like the kaleidoscope, they shift each time. But I will never look at them quite the same way after reading the story she tells of conflicting principles and no-win situations for teachers. -- Michael A. Olivas, William B. Bates Distinguished Chair in Law, University of Houston, and author, The Law And Higher Education: Cases And Materials on Colleges in Court Third Edition

*Michael A. Olivas, William B. Bates Distinguished Chair in Law,
University of Houston, author of The Law And Higher Education:
Cases And Materials on Colleges in Court, Third Edition*
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.
*Library Journal*
Bring[s] fresh perspectives to an always vibrant area of the law…
Dupre subtly makes the argument that the trend toward greater
student speech rights since the 1960s has come at a cost to the
larger 'liberty of a nation.'
*Education Week*
Dupre puts the free-speech-in-school debate in context, pointing up
the difference between free speech granted to a kindergartner
versus a college student, as students more and more often challenge
the elders on free-speech issues.
