书籍简介
评估美国公立学校学生的宪法权利的司法裁决一直在引发激烈的争议。从种族隔离到非法移民，从反战抗议到强制性的国旗敬礼，从经济不平等到教师主导的祈祷：这些只是* 高 法院在中小学解决的分裂美国社会的文化焦虑中的一小部分。The Schoolhouse Gate以一种清新、清晰、具有挑衅性的方式描述了在教育问题上进行的历史性法律斗争，并阐明了继续分裂国家的当代争议。
Justin Driver坚持认为，自20世纪70年代以来 ，*高 法院经常放弃保护学生宪法权利的责任，冒着将公立学校变成无宪法区的风险。近几十年来，学生们从 *高 法院的裁决中获得了有关公民身份的课程，他们会得出这样的结论：教育工作者采取的下列行为符合宪法规定：在没有任何程序保护的情况下对学生进行严重体罚；无正当理由搜查学生及其财物，以查清违反校规的行为;对没有违法嫌疑的学生进行随机药物测试；压制学生的言论以支持他们的观点。下级法院从这些决定中得到启示，支持了一系列可疑的学校行为，包括有辱人格的脱衣搜查；压抑的着装规范；严厉的“零容忍”纪律政策；对校外演讲的严格限制。
Driver用雄辩的语言调查了这一法律图景，强调了具有里程碑意义的冲突背后扣人心弦的个人故事，并警告说，一再不尊重学生权利的做法威胁到了我们的基本宪法秩序。这本权威的书将使人们无法再以同样的方式看待美国学校——或者美国本身。
An award-winning constitutional law scholar at the University of Chicago—who clerked for Judge Merrick B. Garland, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor—gives us an engaging and alarming book that seeks to affirm and uphold the rights of public school students, which have been so often undermined by the recent Supreme Court decisions.
Judicial decisions assessing the constitutional rights of students in the nation’s public schools have consistently generated bitter controversy. From racial segregation to unauthorized immigration, from antiwar protests to compulsory flag salutes, from economic inequality to teacher-led prayer: these are but a few of the cultural anxieties dividing American society that the Supreme Court has addressed in elementary and secondary schools. The Schoolhouse Gate gives a fresh, lucid, and provocative account of the historic legal battles waged over education and illuminates contemporary disputes that continue to fracture the nation.
Justin Driver maintains that since the 1970s the Supreme Court has regularly abdicated its responsibility for protecting students’ constitutional rights and risked transforming public schools into Constitution-free zones. Students deriving lessons about citizenship from the Court’s decisions in recent decades would conclude that the following actions taken by educators pass constitutional muster: inflicting severe corporal punishment on students without any procedural protections; searching students and their possessions without probable cause in bids to uncover violations of school rules; random drug testing of students who are not suspected of wrongdoing; and suppressing student speech for the viewpoint it espouses. Taking their cue from such decisions, lower courts have upheld a wide array of dubious school actions, including degrading strip searches; repressive dress codes; draconian “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies; and severe restrictions on off-campus speech.
Driver surveys this legal landscape with eloquence, highlights the gripping personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and warns that the repeated failure to honor students’ rights threatens our basic constitutional order. This magisterial book will make it impossible to view American schools—or America itself—in the same way again.
