First Amendment Rights

”It can hardly be said,” the Supreme Court declared, “that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

While public schools can place some limitations on the right of teachers or students to express their views, they may not bar ideas with which they disagree. If your school district has limited your child’s right to voice his or her views, or if you are a teacher or parent who has suffered retaliation or adverse consequences for speaking up, consider a consultation with Asher  Gaughran P.C.

We are experienced federal court practitioners who have successfully litigated on behalf of clients who were deprived of their constitutional rights by school districts.
