You're a high-school health teacher, and you're considering sexual abuse as a topic in your class. You want the students to understand the signs of sexual abuse as well as understand some of the emotions that can lead to sexual abuse. "I want to prevent sexual abuse if possible," you reason, "and the only way this will happen is through understanding." A number of parents complain, arguing that the topic is too controversial, and it shouldn't be a part of the school curriculum. You defend your decision, citing academic freedom as a rationale. With respect to your academic freedom, which of the following is the most valid conclusion?
◦ Your right to teach the topic will likely be overturned, since a number of parents have complained.
◦ Your right to teach the topic will likely be overturned, because sexual abuse isn't part of the mainstream health curriculum.
◦ Your right to teach the topic will likely be upheld, since you have cited academic freedom as a rationale.
◦ Your right to teach the topic will likely be upheld, since you have a clear educational goal and rationale for wanting to teach the topic.
