Illinois Teacher Faces Disciplinary Action For Informing Students Of Their Constitutional Rights

snip~
A Batavia High School teacher, John Dryden, is facing disciplinary action from school officials for informing his students they had a 5th Amendment right not to incriminate themselves, before he handed out a school survey asking about drug, alcohol and tobacco use, and emotions.

The results, with the students names would then be handed over to school officials, including social workers, counselors and psychologists.

In the script the school gave Dryden to read to the students before the tests, it did not inform the students whether participation is mandatory or optional.


Students and parents have praised his ability to interest reluctant students in history and current affairs.

But John Dryden said he's not the point. He wants people to
focus on the issue he raised: Whether school officials considered that
students could incriminate themselves with their answers to the survey
that included questions about drug and alcohol use.

Dryden, a social studies teacher, told some of his students
April 18 that they had a 5th Amendment right to not incriminate
themselves by answering questions on the survey, which had each
student's name printed on it.

Why don't the school focus on thier job, teaching kids to read, write and do math.  That would be a good start and I think that the teacher is right.

One of the key words which would trigger the IRS to harrass organizations who were applying for tax exempt status was "Constitution."

I believe this teacher has a valid case against the school district for denying him First Amendment rights and so do the parents as guardians of the students who were subjected to this illegal questionnaire.

Actually, Husseinworld is very much like  Oceania and this is what happens to a prole who violates the Newspeak guidelines issued by the Ministry of Truth.

This teacher is just another Winston Smith.
