Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Student publications may have limitations as identified by school officials (if specific criteria clearly indicate what can and what cannot be printed). The non-disruptive expression of ideas is acceptable, but disruptive speech is not protected. Students may be punished for offensive or disruptive speech.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Academic freedom consists of the teacher's freedom to choose subject matter and instructional materials relevant to the course without interference from administrators or outsiders. A number of issues need to be considered when examining the appropriateness of the choice of materials (such as the relevance to the subject, the age and grade level of the students, and other aspects outlined in the chapter).
