 Harassment, Bullying and Freedom of
Expression:
Guidelines for Free and Safe Public Schools


CONCLUSION
Public schools in a democratic society should seek to develop strong civic
character by teaching and modeling respect for the rights of others.
Students should strive to master the skills of civil engagement both in the
classroom and in relationships with their peers.
Prevention of harassment and bullying is essential for healthy, effective
public schools. But that effort must not lead to excessive limitations on
the constitutional right of students to freedom of expression. School
officials have an obligation to seek the right balance between upholding
free speech and maintaining a safe learning environment for all students.
