In today’s evolving social and legal landscape, educators find themselves at the intersection of free expression, student support, and new legislative realities. This session will delve into the complexities of displaying symbols tied to social movements—such as pride flags or Black Lives Matter—and the impact of laws like Ohio’s anticipated SB 104 (“Bathroom Bill”) on classroom and campus policies.
We’ll also explore the boundaries of teachers’ First Amendment rights, particularly in the context of social media, helping you balance personal expression with professional responsibilities. Join us for a candid, interactive discussion on how to navigate these issues with confidence, empathy, and legal awareness.
Empower yourself with strategies and insights to foster inclusive classrooms while staying informed about your rights and responsibilities as an educator.
