For this fourth edition, new Supreme Court cases are incorporated on topics like strip searches at school, the use of race in school admissions, student protest or religious speech, and the constitutional implications surrounding trends like home schooling and rising gun violence in America's schools. Through meaningful and engagingly written commentary, excerpts of Supreme Court cases (with students as the litigants), and exercises and class projects, Raskin provides students with the tools to gain a deeper appreciation of democratic freedoms and challenges, underscoring students' responsibility in preserving constitutional principles. Completely revised and updated for the fourth edition, We the Students provides a comprehensive look at all of the major constitutional issues affecting students including: freedom of speech and the press; religion in schools; students' access to judicial process; school discipline and punishment; safety; discrimination; privacy at school, and others.
