2018 CSBA Annual Conference

Turning Controversies into Teachable Moments: A Focus on Controversial Political and Religious Speech
Event Single

Details

Controversial religious expression. Political controversies. Hate speech. They all have one thing in common: the need to balance legal and community pressures, while ensuring student and staff safety and protecting the rights of all groups. This workshop walks through a case study and model program that culminates with a student senate, a common ground advisory task force, and a revised LCAP. Learn how to best prepare for and respond to controversy in a way that avoids litigation, including a review of student and staff free speech and religious expression rights. Leave with a framework for how to manage a crisis to help ensure that controversies become teachable moments of civil discourse for parents, students, staff, and the community.
