The Journal Gazette reports on Amy Sorrell receiving the Mary Beth Tinker Award from American University’s law school and the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project. Sorrell, a teacher from the East Allen County Schools, almost lost her teaching job for a paper that was published in the school newspaper. Sorrell was quoted as saying:
We need to challenge schools to be advocates for students and to truly make schools a place for learning. Schools need to be places that harbor student rights, that encourage students’ thoughts and ideas even when they are unpopular.”
One person can make a difference.
