Rights and Duties from both teachers and students must be
followed in an educational institution in order to improve the
education system. There is very little scholarship about student
rights throughout the world. In general, most countries have some
kind of student rights (or rights that apply in the educational
setting) enshrined in their laws and proceduralized by their court
precedents.

RIGHTS OF TEACHER:
Freedom from Discrimination
The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of
the Constitution protects teachers at public schools from
discrimination based on race, sex, and national origin. These
forms of discrimination are also barred through the enactment of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was amended in
1972 to include educational institutions. This law provides that it
is an unlawful employment practice for any employer to
discriminate against an individual based on the race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin of the individual. Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 provides protection against
discrimination based on sex at educational institutions that
receive federal financial assistance. Title VII and IX also prohibit
sexual harassment in the workplace.
A teacher who has been subjected to discrimination has several
causes of action, though proof in some of these cases may be
difficult. A teacher may bring a cause of action under section
1983 of Title 42 of the United States Code for deprivation of
rights under the Equal Protection Clause (or other constitutional
provision). However, to succeed under this cause of action, the
teacher would need to prove that the school had the deliberate
intent to discriminate. Similarly, a teacher bringing a claim under
Title VII must demonstrate that the reasons given by a school for
an employment decision were false and that the actual reason
for the decision was discrimination.
Academic Freedom
Teachers in public schools have limited freedoms in the
classroom to teach without undue restrictions on the content or
subjects for discussion. These freedoms are based on rights to
freedom of expression under the First Amendment of the Bill of
Rights. However, the concept of academic freedom is quite

15. 5/25/2017
14
limited. The content taught by a teacher must be relevant to and
consistent with the teacher's responsibilities, and a teacher
cannot promote a personal or political agenda in the classroom.
Factors such as the age, experience, and grade level of students
affect the latitude in which a court will recognize the academic
freedom of a teacher.
Freedom of Expression
A leading case in First Amendment jurisprudence regarding
protected forms of expression is Pickering v. Board of Education.
This case involved a teacher whose job was terminated when he
wrote to a local newspaper an editorial critical of the teacher's
employer. The Supreme Court held that the school had
unconstitutionally restricted the First Amendment rights of the
teacher to speak on issues of public importance. Based on
Pickering and similar cases, teachers generally enjoy rights to
freedom of expression, though there are some restrictions.
Teachers may not materially disrupt the educational interest of
the school district, nor may teachers undermine authority or
adversely affect working relationships at the school.
Freedom of Association
Similar to rights to freedom of expression, public school teachers
enjoy rights to freedom of association, based on the First
Amendment's provision that grants citizens the right to peaceful
assembly. These rights generally permit public school teachers
to join professional, labor, or similar organizations; run for public
office; and similar forms of association. However, teachers may
be required to ensure that participation in these activities is
completely independent from their responsibilities to the school.
Freedom of Religion
The First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
provide protection against religious discrimination by school
districts against teachers. Teaches may exercise their religious
rights, though there are certain restrictions to such rights. This

16. 5/25/2017
15
existence of restrictions is particularly relevant to the public
schools, since public schools are restricted from teaching religion
through the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Thus,
for example, a teacher is free to be a practicing Christian, yet the
teacher cannot preach Christianity in the classroom.
Privacy Rights
Teachers enjoy limited rights to personal privacy, though courts
will often support disciplinary action taken by a school district
when a teacher's private life affects the integrity of the school
district or the effectiveness by which a teacher can teach. Thus,
for example, a teacher may be terminated from his or her
position for such acts as adultery or other sexual conduct outside
marriage, and courts will be hesitant to overrule the decisions of
the school board.
Age
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, with its
subsequent amendments, provides protection for teachers over
the age of 40 against age discrimination. Under this act, age may
not be the sole factor when a school district terminates the
employment of a teacher. If a teacher charges a school district
with age discrimination, the school district has the burden to
show that some factor other than age influenced its decision.
Pregnancy
The Pregnancy Discrimination of 1978 provides protection for
teachers who are pregnant. Under this act, a school district
cannot dismiss or demote a pregnant teacher on the basis of her
pregnancy, nor may a district deny a job or deny a promotion to
a pregnant teacher on the basis of her pregnancy.Act
