When public school policies are designed to "socialize" students by managing the influences which they may be exposed to in the school, are such policies consistent with the "freedom of speech" protected by the First Amendment of the US constitution? Whitson looks at the meanings and understanding behind this question, and how the discourses of constitutional jurisprudence, and socialization research can illuminate practical decisions made by legislators and educators.
