Preferred term

rights of teachers  

Definition

  • In American jurisprudence, public school teachers, as public employees, do not forfeit all of their First Amendment rights to free expression when they accept employment. Both in pursuing and in imparting knowledge to others, public school teachers share some of the academic freedoms exercised by their college and university counterparts, albeit with limitations sometimes justified by the immaturity of their students. [Source: Encyclopedia of the First Amendment; Teachers, Rights of]
