Code No. 502.4
STUDENT EXPRESSION
Students are allowed, indeed encouraged, to express their viewpoints and opinions. However, in order to maintain an appropriate learning environment and to protect the rights of all students, students must express themselves responsibly and appropriately in the school setting. The expression shall not encourage the breaking of laws or school rules, shall not be libelous, shall not constitute harassment, or contain obscenity or indecent depictions. Further, the expression must be done at a reasonable time and place, as determined by the administrative staff. Student expressions which cause material and/or substantial disruption to the orderly operation of the school or are in violation of this policy may be suppressed, and the students disciplined.
