Academic Freedom: Professional or Legal Right?
Zirkel, Perry A.
Educational Leadership, v50 n6 p42-43 Mar 1993
Supreme Court has delineated three-step test to First Amendment cases brought by public employees, including tenured and nontenured teachers' academic freedom cases. Is teacher's conduct "protected expression" that concerns public issue without unduly rocking boat? If so, is protected expression the motivation behind district's adverse action? If so, would district have taken adverse action regardless of protected expression? (MLH)
