The Constitution doesn’t place age requirements on the protection of individual rights from intrusion by all government entities—and that includes students at public schools. This guide is designed to empower young people in Tennessee with an understanding of their rights as students, exploring the civil liberties issues that impact youth every day, from banned books, dress codes and the Pledge of Allegiance to anti-LGBT bullying, locker searches and drug testing.
