New Handbook Informs Iowa Students of Their Rights
Even before a student reaches age 18, that person has basic constitutional rights.
From free speech to anti-bullying, from dress codes to praying in school, this booklet informs students of what they can and can’t do under the law.
"... there is no other organization that safeguards all of our civil rights. The ACLU also has the experience and expertise needed to deter ever-growing attempts to jeopardize social justice and our constitutional rights."
