Emphasizing the crucial importance of intellectual freedom
Compiled and edited by Jean E. Brown (Professor of Teacher Education at Saginaw Valley State University), Preserving Intellectual Freedom: Fighting Censorship In Our Schools is a selection of engaging essays by a variety of learned authors on the hotly disputed topic of how much freedom of speech is too much, or too little, in American schools today. Emphasizing the crucial importance of intellectual freedom, the threat of self-censorship, ways teachers can seek support, the ramifications of the "Hazelwood" court case, and a great deal more, Preserving Intellectual Freedom is a thought-provoking and highly recommended assessment of a critically important contemporary issue in public education today.
