What law takes away freedom of speech in school?
Posted on June 20th, 2010 by admin
I need help.
I am working on a paper and to bring everything together I need this one piece of information.
What law or rule gives the schools to act as the ‘parent’ when you are on the school grounds?
I mean, its no news that the school takes away freedom of speech(with good reason) so you can’t just go around cursing and making threats, but i want to know why?How?
What law?
If that makes sense.
Help Will be greatly appreciated.
freedom of speech doesnt really mean freedom of speech. you cant make threats anywhere, and you cant say anything that could incite violence. so cussing and threats are both technically illegal. but they should take into account how the word was used like if your cussing at someone then its bad but casually cussing shouldn’t be a problem.

No law "takes away" freedom of speech in schools, it does not need to because the Constitution does not GRANT any "free speech" rights to minors in the custody of ’surrogate parents’ (schoolteachers)…you do understand that parents ‘hand off’ their Guardianship obligations to teachers when they send minors to school, right? If you do not, we could ALL use a "good laugh" and would LOVE to see you bring suit against your Math Teacher for ‘forcing you’ to learn algebra, LOL!
Grow up.

It’s not a law, but a legal concept. It’s known as "in loco parentis" and means that the school is acting in the place of the parents, with a responsibility to ensure the safety and the students and a similar right to reasonably restrict certain civil liberties to ensure that safety. They can not only restrict speech, they can also search your locker/bag and other things. The Supreme Court has ruled on this a number of times, almost always in favor of the school.
