UPDATE!!!
After sending some students from the Clarksville - Montgomery County School System to the ACLU Students' Rights Conference in Nashville, TN last spring, the Urban Resource Center thought this would be an excellent event to host in Clarksville. So, the Urban Resource Center invited the ACLU to come to our community. The Urban Resource Center is hoping to make this Students' Rights Forum an annual event.
ACLU Executive Director, Hedy Weinberg and Associates will cover such topics as: Dress Codes, Searches, Due Process, Religious Beliefs, Discrimination, Freedom of Speech, Rights of the Disabled and More!
Often times our society waits until a student has reached the age of 18 years of age to inform them of even the basic rights to which they are entitled to while attending the Elementary and Secondary Education School Systems.
“Students do not shed their Constitutional Rights to Freedom of Speech or Expression at the Schoolhouse gate.” –U. S. Supreme Court: Tinker v. Des Moines School District (1969)
