FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS: BELL v. ITAWAMBA TARGETS RAP MUSIC AND STUDENTS' FREE SPEECH RIGHTS |
71 Emory Law Journal 1321 (2022) |
In the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case Bell v. Itawamba, student free speech rights, a vigilantly protected constitutional freedom, came to clash with rap music, an art form viciously misunderstood by much of America. The distaste for rap ultimately won out--the court crafted a new, more restrictive student free speech doctrine to render the... |

GRANTING A HALL PASS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS: HOW THE FIFTH CIRCUIT'S DECISION IN T.O. v. FORT BEND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS THE INADEQUATE CONSTITUTIONAL CURRICULUM FOR ACADEMIC CORPORAL PUNISHMENT |
67 Villanova Law Review 201 (2022) |
Battered schoolchildren are not interested in post-punishment relief. What they want--and deserve--is not to be hit in the first place. After eighth-grade student Trey Clayton failed to sit in his assigned seat for class, an assistant principal struck him three times on the buttocks as punishment. The paddling was so severe that Clayton fainted... |

INSTITUTIONAL BETRAYALS AS SEX DISCRIMINATION |
107 Iowa Law Review 1685 (May, 2022) |
ABSTRACT: Title IX jurisprudence has a theoretical and doctrinal inadequacy. Title IX's purpose is to protect public school students from sex discrimination in all its forms. Yet, courts have only recognized three relatively narrow forms of sex discrimination under it. Title IX jurisprudence, therefore, cannot effectively recognize as sex... |

IT STARTS AND ENDS WITH THE SCHOOLS: USING STRICT IDEA ENFORCEMENT TO SUNDER THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON-PIPELINE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS |
48 Ohio Northern University Law Review 359 (2022) |
Many scholars have advocated for the unification of IDEA, ADA, and Section 504 principles in the juvenile adjudication process. This comment seeks a different approach. We should not have to unify two separate concepts, but rather strive to keep them in their own distinct universes. Special education and juvenile delinquency should not intersect.... |

MUTUAL LIBERATION: THE USE AND ABUSE OF NON-HUMAN ANIMALS BY THE CARCERAL STATE AND THE SHARED ROOTS OF OPPRESSION |

The carceral state has used non-human animals as tools to oppress Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority (BIPGM) for centuries. From bloodhounds violently trained by settlers to aid in their genocidal colonial project through the slave dogs that enforced a racial caste system to the modern deployment of police dogs, non-consenting... |

PROCEDURALIZE STUDENT SPEECH |
131 Yale Law Journal 1880 (April, 2022) |
This Note proposes an important new dimension for student-speech jurisprudence: procedure. Current doctrine focuses on sorting the speech itself into categories, largely ignoring the school's response. But empirical evidence shows that how a school regulates speech determines whether students learn the lessons that schools intend or simply turn... |

REEVALUATING SCHOOL POLICING |
108 Virginia Law Review Online 152 (April, 2022) |
School police, often referred to as school resource officers (SROs), contribute to a pattern called the school-to-prison pipeline, through which Black and brown children are diverted from classrooms and into the criminal justice system. In schools that employ SROs, SROs disproportionately search and discipline Black and brown students. This leads... |

As the mass incarceration crisis skyrocketed, the animal protection movement adopted many of the mechanisms of the carceral state. Improving the status of animals was equated with pushing for lengthier sentences for those who caused harm to animals, placing more people into cages for longer periods of time. This disproportionally harmed Black,... |
