Response:

First Amendment Schools are places where all members of the school community practice the civic habits of the heart necessary to sustain a free people that would remain free. What unites First Amendment Schools is not one view of democratic education or the First Amendment, but rather an abiding commitment to teach model the rights and responsibilities that undergird the First Amendment.
