INSPECTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BY PARENTS&lt;BR/&gt;The East Allen County School Corporation will make available for inspection by the parents or guardians of all student instructional materials, (including teacher manuals, student texts, tapes, films or videos, and other materials), used in connection with a personal analysis, evaluation, or survey soliciting information about a student&#39;s personal beliefs.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A parent consent form for such a survey must accurately reflect the survey&#39;s contents and nature. A student will not be required, without written consent of a parent, to participate in a personal analysis, evaluation, or survey that is not directly related to academic instruction and which reveals or attempts to affect the student&#39;s attitude, habits, traits, opinions, beliefs, or feelings concerning any of the following: political affiliations; religious beliefs or practices; mental or psychological conditions; sexual behavior or attitudes; illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating or demeaning behavior; critical appraisals of other individuals with whom the student has a close family relationship; legally recognized privileged or confidential relationships, including those with a lawyer, minister, or physician; or income (except as required by law to determine eligibility for participation in programs receiving financial assistance).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And....&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;T.  ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY - ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC INFORMATION, SERVICES, AND NETWORKS&lt;BR/&gt;Freedom of expression is an inalienable human right and the foundation for self-government. &lt;B&gt;Freedom of expression encompasses the right to freedom of speech and the corollary right to receive information. Such rights extend to minors as well as adults. Schools facilitate the exercise of these rights by providing access to information regardless of format or technology.&lt;/B&gt; In a free and democratic society, access to information is a fundamental right of citizenship.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A policy to allow parents to inspect materials. But .... Whoops!   Looks like Woodlan HS and the EACS is not following its own policy as concerns the school newspaper.   Everything they&#39;ve said concerning this has included the &quot;fact&quot; that a student has no rights of free speech.   The EACS has no policy concerning employment which concerns &#39;sexual orientation&#39; - but that&#39;s to be expected.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Eh... wait a second, students have free speech, but only if the principal allows them to have free speech, this isn&#39;t America, it&#39;s the EACS.  Again from the Student Guide:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;5.  Freedom of Expression&lt;BR/&gt;Students are entitled to express their personal opinions and assemble peacefully at appropriate times and in appropriate places to the extent that others&#39; rights are not infringed upon and the educational program is not disrupted. &lt;B&gt;However, it is the responsibility of the school principal to define the limits of students&#39; freedom of expression in order to maintain an orderly educational atmosphere:&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;B&gt;a) Administrators and faculty have the authority to deny distribution of any student publication.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;b) The principal must authorize any group of students meeting on school property.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;c) Any expressions, whether single or group, which interfere with the educational process are prohibited.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;d) Students are expected to use appropriate language at all times. Suggestive, profane, or obscene language is not acceptable and will not be allowed. Students using inappropriate language may be suspended or removed from class or school.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In their favor the EACS has this policy, again from the Student Guide:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;(Sec.-2) Disruption of the Educational Process:&lt;BR/&gt;n. Sexual Harassment:  Engaging in behavior that constitutes the sexual harassment of anyone at school or at a school-related activity such as unwelcome sexual flirtations or propositions, &lt;B&gt;sexual slurs&lt;/B&gt;, leering, &lt;B&gt;sexually degrading descriptions or comments, sexual jokes, spreading sexual rumors&lt;/B&gt;, touching an individual’s body or clothes in a sexual way, or, cornering or blocking of normal movement.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This policy as well as their &quot;Harassment and Bullying&quot; policy while not specific as to sexual orientation may be applied to situations that might concern gay and lesbian students.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But that 1995 policy statement doesn&#39;t show up in any way in the current Student Guide.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/7533323769118150382/comments/default/8207548358246838532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/7533323769118150382/comments/default/8207548358246838532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2007/05/east-allen-county-schools-refuses-to.html?showComment=1178254620000#c8207548358246838532' title=''/><author><name>Lynn David</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/02885808956452761511</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fwb14WkWzcc/SRKpxIl_T6I/AAAAAAAAAAM/jRiGhnhz0Ts/S220/Me2paint1.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2007/05/east-allen-county-schools-refuses-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7533323769118150382' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/posts/default/7533323769118150382' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-269112845"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="11:57 PM GMT-5"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-8758458830451151387</id><published>2007-05-03T11:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-03T11:40:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Jesus...please protect me from your followers!
