Chapter Five - Due Process
On page 84 of Chapter 5 (Due Process, Student Discipline, Athletics, and Title IX), Stader (2013) addresses the work of John Rawl (2001).
Chapter Five (section) Student Rights and the Well-Ordered School (Stader, pp. 84-85)
Principle One: Each person has the same indefeasible (cannot be defeated, revoked, or made void (http:/legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/indefeasible) claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all. (p. 42)
While it is easy to agree to what Principle One assumes, how do you feel the public schools have actually met the following three items?
Please address Items 1 and 2 separately (1/2-page discussion for each for a total of 1 page of double-spaced text). Address Item 3 with 1 page of double-spaced text.
- “The fundamental idea is the development of a school culture that exists simultaneously as a fair system of social cooperation that is established by public justification.” (Stader 84-85).
- “Social cooperation requires that reasonable persons understand and honor certain basic principles, even at the expense of their own interests, provided that others are also expected to honor these principles on their own freedoms. School officials can be expected to understand and honor reasonable restrictions on their freedoms.” (Stader 85)
- Do you think it is possible to fairly meet the ‘ ‘publicly justified’ argument Rawl’s lays out in the final paragraph? (Stader, 85)
