    Teachers' Rights and Responsibilities 2

    Abstract

    In court cases some of them support the school's and some support the teacher's.
    Teachers' Rights and Responsibilities 3

    Teachers' Rights and Responsibilities

    In the United States teachers have not always had the rights that they do today. There

    have been many court cases that have changed education for the better. There have been

    some that have benefited the school's side of an argument and some court cases that have

    benefited the teacher's side of an argument. Two of the court cases that have benefited the

    schools are Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v. Loudernill. and Chalk v. U.S. District Center Dist. of

    California. Two court cases that have benefited teachers are Connell v. Higginbotham and Knox

    County Educ. Ass'n v, Knox county Board of Educ.

    One of the court cases that supported a school's side is Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v.

    Loudernill. According to the book "School Law for Teachers" it states, "The school board

    terminated a school security guard after it discovered he had lied on his job application about

    his criminal record" (pg. 65). At this school they did not even investigate what the security

    guard arrested for, they just terminated him right away. The Cleveland Board of Education did

    this for the safety of the students. They had to keep their students safe for the time being. At

    the same time, it also violated the rights of the security guard. When they were in court the

    supreme court justice took that into mind.

    A second court case that supported a school's side is Chalk v. U.S. District Center Dist. of

    California. In the book "School Law for Teachers" it states "The U.S. district court relied heavily

    on the significant risk standard to determine when a contagious disease would prevent an

    individual from being 'otherwise qualifies'" (pg. 27). The disease that they are referring to in

    that statement is AIDS. This benefited the health of the schools. With the science that they had
    Teachers' Rights and Responsibilities 4

    discovered they came to a conclusion The school concluded that Chalk was a risk to the

    students.

    One of the court cases that supported teacher's rather than the school's is Connell v.

    Higginbotham. According to the book "School Law for Teachers" it states, "A teacher was

    dismissed from her position after she refused to sign a loyalty oath required of all public

    employees" (pg. 51). This had violated the teacher's rights. Every person has a right rather they

    are a teacher or not. This benefited the teacher because it was her right if she wanted to sign

    the oath or not. In this case she should not have to.

    The second court case that supported teacher's is Knox County Educ. Ass'n v, Knox

    county Board of Educ. In the book "School Law of Teachers" it states, "The Supreme Court let

    stand a decision of the Sixth Circuit that allowed mandatory urinalysis of all applicants that the

    policy was justified because educators were on the 'frontline of school security' and because

    they occupy so-called 'safety sensitive' positions" (pg. 54). This benefited the teachers in a way

    they might not have known. This helps them be clear to teach students. The urinalysis makes

    sure that they are fit to be teachers.

    All in all, both sides have good arguments with the cases they have. The argument that

    was stronger would be the school's. The schools have a stronger case because with the court

    cases Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v. Loudernill. and Chalk v. U.S. District Center Dist. of California

    they were just trying benefit the students. At the end of the day the students are what is most

    important. The teacher's do not have a weak argument with the court cases being Connell v.

    Higginbotham and Knox County Educ. Ass'n v, Knox county Board of Educ. and more. The

    teacher's argument is strong, but not as strong as schools.
