Student Civil Rights

Student civil rights refer to the legal protections and freedoms that students have within educational settings. These rights ensure that students can express themselves freely, practice their beliefs, and access education without discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or other characteristics. Key rights include the ability to participate in school activities, receive fair treatment from school authorities, and have safe learning environments. Laws like the Civil Rights Act and Title IX provide frameworks to uphold these rights, promoting equality and justice in education. Understanding these rights helps safeguard students' dignity and opportunities in schools.
