Is your district prepared for a First Amendment audit?
from OSBA Leading the Way · host Scott Gerfen
Thom Fladung with Hennes Communications discusses the "First Amendment audits" trend and what schools can do to prepare for them. First Amendment auditors are individuals who go into public buildings, including schools, with video cameras to test their right to access public spaces. While there is some legitimacy to this, the auditors often try to provoke encounters with school employees and post the video on YouTube. Fladung offers practical advice on how to prepare should a First Amendment auditor appear at your school. This episode is brought to you by Vartek, education's IT partner.
