Free Speech on America's K 12 and College Campuses: Legal Cases from Barnette to Blaine: Lexington Studies in Political Communication

Free Speech on America s K 12 and College Campuses: Legal Cases from Barnette to Blaine covers the history of legal cases involving free speech issues on K-12 and college campuses, mostly during the 50-year period from 1965 through 2015. While it deals mostly with high school and college newspapers, it also covers religious issues (school prayer, distribution of religious materials, and use of school facilities for voluntary Bible study), speech codes, free speech zones, self-censorship due to political correctness, hate speech, threats of disruption and violence, and off-campus speech, including social media. Randy Bobbitt provides a representative sampling of cases spread across the five decades and across the subject areas listed above."
