Extractions: Vouchers for private schools The ruling continues the Court's drift away from imposing strict separation of church and state, as evidenced in recent decisions allowing Bible clubs to meet on school grounds and providing textbooks for religious groups on public school campuses. The Court split on its traditional conservative/swing bloc lines as Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote the opinion for Justices O'Connor, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy. School drug testing Thursday's second major ruling also involves school students: In a 5-4 decision, the Court overturned a federal appeals court to allow random drug testing of public high school students. The lower court had found the drug testing policy violates students' expectations of privacy. In question was whether a school has to limit drug testing to students who participate in athletics (a practice already ruled constitutional by the Court) or can also test students who take part in any extracurricular activities. The case was

They said the meeting was evaluating the progress of economic and technical cooperation as recommended in the first summit of the countries, known as D-8 group, in the Turkish capital Istanbul in 1997. The D-8 comprises Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey and Nigeria. The officials said Nigeria may be absent at the Dhaka meeting because of its national elections. And not all other heads of government will be in Dhaka for the summit. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia, President Suleyman Demirel of Turkey and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan plan to attend, the foreign ministry said. Other countries would be represented by senior government officials.
TCLA Bill Of Rights High School Exit Exam The problems revealed by California's high school exit exam won solved only by providingall students a real moratorium on his state's use of the death penalty. http://tcla.gseis.ucla.edu/rights/latest/7/hs_exit_op_ed.html
Extractions: Reprinted in the Los Angeles Times October 6, 2002 Jeannie Oakes is presidential professor and director of UCLA's Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access (IDEA). Professor John Rogers is IDEA's associate director L ast Monday, the state released the latest round of scores on California's High School Exit Exam. More than half of the 431,000 10th-graders who took the exam last spring failed itmost for the second time. They will have more chances to pass, but unless something extraordinary happens, they can forget about a high school diploma. They can also forget about attending any of California's public universities, even if they've had all the right classes, gotten good grades and taken the SAT. The exit exam is a blunt instrument, useful for exposing the California schools in greatest need of attention and resources. But it should not be used to bludgeon students whose misfortune it is to attend those schools. Consider the prospects of 11th-graders at L.A.'s Crenshaw High School. After one month of school, many have not yet received textbooks for their classes. More than a third of their teachers lack full credentials. This is not an exceptional year for these students, who have faced similar or worse conditions year after year. Now, though, the state has come along and threatened their futures with a test that their school has not prepared them to take.

Extractions: JLC announces a new publication to guide judicial decision-making in cases involving older youth in foster care. This 60-page publication which is a supplement to JLC's Dependency Deskbook for Pennsylvania judges includes detailed analysis of the Foster Care Independence Act, Teenagers and the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and Pennsylvania law affecting older foster children. It also shows how judges, child welfare agencies and children's lawyers can ensure that youth have safe passage to adulthood by ensuring their access to education, physical and behavioral health care, housing, and other services. For the full text of the publication click here In addition an abridged national version is also available for judges and practitioners for use outside of Pennsylvania. Please click here On September 25, 2002, Juvenile Law Center and Education Law Center filed a law suit in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas challenging a new state law that bars delinquent youth from attending regular classes. The new law only applies to Philadelphia students. It bars them from regular classes regardless of their histories, offenses, or academic record. Instead, students who have been adjudicated delinquent must go to a "transition center." However, students cannot return to regular classes even if the transition center assessment makes such a recommendation. Philadelphia, like all Pennsylvania school districts, already has the authority to expel or transfer violent or disruptive students. The new law automatically transfers thousands of students who are neither violent nor disruptive.

Extractions: First Amendment Education Project The Howard A. Friedman First Amendment Education Project, a special project focusing on student outreach and education, was established by the ACLU Foundation of Northern California on March 1, 1991. The goal of the First Amendment Education Project is to work with high school students and teachers to improve student understanding of the core principles underlying the Bill of Rights, and to make the connection between these rights and the issues in their lives. Student Advisory Committee: A group of 40 high school students from all over northern California meets two to three times a month to educate themselves on issues so that they can then teach their peers what they have learned through classroom presentations and conferences. The committee is responsible for planning two student conferences a year and an issue exploration field trip. All interested students are welcome to join and participate on this Committee. Conferences: SAY WHAT!! Our annual spring "SAY WHAT!! Students Celebrate Freedom of Expression" conference brings together hundreds of young people from throughout northern California to discuss, debate, and challenge one another on the most difficult and pertinent issues of our times. Each conference features youth who have been actively involved in fighting for civil rights and civil liberties. The conference also features music, performances, "speak outs" and other expression activities. Student Journalists' Conference In the fall of each year, we present special one-day sessions for high school journalists. The workshops feature student journalists, advisors, professional journalists and lawyers discussing the history and current status of laws governing freedom of the press. We review the California Education Code sections governing student freedom of expression and look at ways for high school reporters and editors to avoid censorship.

Extractions: Monday, August 4, 1997 SAN FRANCISCO From a boy's boot camp in Sloughouse to the prison cells of Chowchilla, 27 high school students will later this month embark on an intense trip through California's juvenile justice system. "Juvenile Justice: Unplugged," sponsored by the ACLU of Northern California's Howard A. Friedman First Amendment Education Project, will give students an opportunity to meet with the people behind the justice system as well as explore the reasons and alternatives to a life in prison. In Stockton, the students will meet with the staff and youth at Chaderjidan, where they will observe the daily procedures of a maximum security facility. They will also spend one day at Boy's Ranch in Sloughouse, CA, where they will meet with staff and tour the facilities to receive a glimpse of the lives of boys living in a boot camp. One highlight of the trip will be a rare opportunity to interview prisoners on Death Row, and also talk with family members of murder victims and the wives of condemned inmates in San Quentin. Students will then attend the Mumia Abu-Jamal Freedom Rally in San Francisco, where they will share the platform with former Black Panther leader Geronimo Pratt and novelist Alice Walker to protest the death penalty.
