    Bethel School District vs. Fraser

    This case involved a public high school student, Matthew Fraser who gave a speech nominating another student for a student elective office. The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government. While giving the speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in what the school board called "elaborate, graphic, and explicit metaphor." After his speech, the assistant principal told Fraser that the school considered the speech a violation of the school 's "disruptive-conduct rule." This prohibited conduct that interfered with the educational process, including obscene, profane language or gestures. After Fraser admitted he intentionally had used sexual innuendo in the speech, he was told that he would be suspended from school for three days, and his name would be removed from the list of the speakers at the graduation exercises.…

    Franklin V Gwinnett

    On December 11th, 1990, Christine Franklin filed a lawsuit against the Gwinnett County Public School system. During her sophomore year in high school at Gwinnett High School, she was continually harassed sexually by her economics teacher Andrew Hill. Mr. Hill would kiss her, feel on her, and constantly try to engage in inappropriate sexual conversations with Franklin. Franklin first went to staff at the school. Nothing was done. Franklin told the administration on the Board of Education and they begged for no charges to be pressed on the school because they didn’t want a bad reputation or for the incident to publicize. Instead, Mr. Hill offered to resign from teaching if no charges were pressed, so the school looked past the whole thing.…

    3 Landmark Supreme Court Cases- Research Essay

    Ingraham v. Wright is a Supreme Court case that deals with corporal punishment at school. James Ingraham, a 14 year old boy, was taken to his principal’s office for “rowdy” behavior. As a punishment for misbehaving, the principal decided to give him five swats with a paddle, although he denied doing anything wrong and refused to be punished, so he was repeatedly swatted twenty times (Jacobs, 8). According to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University, paddling violates the Eighth Amendment, which states “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Although, even if paddling is acceptable, students have the right to be heard under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (Cornell University, LII). The majority ruling of court was not in James’ favor. Justice Powell gave the opinion of the court stating that “Reasonable physical discipline doesn’t violate the constitution.” As well as, “The Eighth Amendment was designed to protect convicted criminals from excessive punishment at the hands of the government- not school children who misbehave” (Wilson). As stated by the Bill of Rights Institute, in 1791 James Wilson lectured on justice and…

    Matthew Fraser Speech

    Symbols, signs, negative slogans, vulgarities, and racial/ethnic slurs can also be considered a way of exhibiting that First Amendment right. Sometimes these actions, while believed to be allowable in “free speech” can also be considered to be offensive or disruptive to the school environment. In the case, Brogdon v. Lafon, 217 Fed. Appx. 518, 523 (6th Cir. 2007), the school board had numerous documented incidences of racially motivated occurrences that were interfering with the students constitutionally protected right to an education. In the previous year, the school had to be put on lock-down with the continual presence of sheriff’s deputies due to a physical altercation between a white student and an African-American student. A civil rights complaint was made against the school system due to this…

    Examples Of Substantive Due Process

    Courts allowing substantive due process claims in connection with corporal punishment have found the threshold for recovery for the violation of a student’s rights to be high. Minor pain, embarrassment, and hurt feelings do not rise to this level; actions must literally be ‘shocking to the conscience.” Disciplinary actions that have not risen to this level include requiring a ten-year-old boy to clean out a stopped-up toilet with his bare hands, physically and abusively restraining a student with disabilities in multiple incidents, shoving a student’s head into a trash can; and shaking, screaming and spitting on football players. In contrast, substantive due process rights were implicated when conscience-shocking behavior involved a coach…

    Tinker V Des Moines Case Study

    Although students do not lose their rights as they walk through the school gates, their rights are restricted for the safety of others. The court case of Tinker v. Des Moines argues the same issue of the rights of students while on school grounds. “Because the appearance of the armbands distracted students from their work, they detracted from the ability of the school officials to perform their duties, so the school district was well within its rights to discipline the students” (OYEZ). As the armbands distracted students, the inappropriate photos of Suzie distracted upperclassmen from their educational work, which also put Suzie in an uncomfortable position depriving herself the ability to focus 100% on school work. Therefore, the principal was taking away a distraction to discipline the students which can be compared to the case of Tinker v. Des…
