(5(5 ~he Rights of Students" by Janet R. Price, Alan H. Levine, and Eve Cary is an American Civil Liberties Union handbook that defines the line between the powers of school officials and students' constitu tional rights. Following are some students' rights. • Students who do not speak English can not be prohibited from attending vocational and career programs, unless they do not have the skills necessary to complete the program. • Public high school principals and teachers can not stop student groups from meeting at school just because they don't like what the groups discuss. The Equal Access Act passed by Congress in 1984 guarantees that. • Unless school officials can show that the club will be disruptive to school activities, they can not keep students from forming an after-school club, even if the club supports an unpopular point of view.
