Hentoff Chapter

How should the Constitution apply to a case like that of the religious students who refused to read Studs Terkels' excellent, but raw book, Working? Should the school be required under the First Amendment to allow the dissenters to read a substitute book? Or should the courts leave this decision to school authorities and the school board (and ultimately to the political process)?

If you were a school district attorney, what would you advise your client to do? Why?
