KNOW YOUR RIGHTS -
A Guide For Public School Students in Colorado
__________________________________________________________________________________
This Guide is designed to inform you of YOUR RIGHTS AS A STUDENT.
Individuals in America have basic freedom that may not be infringed upon: the right to free speech, the right to practice one's own religion, the right to privacy, and the right for everyone to be treated fairly and equally under the law are just some of these rights. It's your job to know your rights; only after you understand them can you protect and exercise them.
The ACLU of Colorado thinks it's especially important for students to understand their rights because this understanding nurtures a commitment to civic engagement and develops a dedication to values that ensure our individual liberties.
