Boring or Bunkum?
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n10 p791-92 Jun 1998
Discusses an unsuccessful lawsuit brought by Margaret Boring, an acclaimed high school drama teacher in Buncombe County, North Carolina. She was transferred to a middle school for allegedly violating the school's "controversial materials" policy after students performed an expurgated version of Lee Blessing's "Independence." Judges disagreed over free-speech precedents. (10 references) (MLH)
