In recent years, public education has taken on a significance in the nation’s dominant political discourse not seen in a generation. The truth of this can be seen in the increased attention public education has received in our state and federal courts. This course will explore contemporary case law governing the administration and role of public education in the United States, with a focus on First Amendment rights, the various stakeholders in public schools and the pressure points of conflict that have emerged between them. We will also discuss the future of public education and the various options for future education law policy in a field where every day might present a new Constitutional question.
