Catherine Ross has a new book out on students and the First Amendment. Classmates and friends are cordially invited to attend the launch party in DC on November 9:
Author and law professor Catherine Ross discusses her new book “Lessons in Censorship: How Schools and Courts Subvert Students’ First Amendment Rights,” which explores the state of free speech for students in America’s public schools.
The book documents an increasing clamp-down on speech even off-campus, and explores how even well-intentioned efforts against bullying and hate speech violate students’ rights.
Ross, a professor at George Washington University Law School, is spending the 2015-2016 academic year as a visiting scholar at the Harvard School of Education. She has been a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale and other universities. She is a co-author of “Contemporary Family Law,” a leading law school text.
