Students Rights Curricula
The project has developed two acclaimed civics curricula and textbooks for high school students.  The first, We the Students: Supreme Court Cases for and about Students, explores landmark Supreme Court cases about education and the rights of students.  These cases help bring the Bill of Rights to life for teens by focusing on issues that affect them directly, from dress codes and student discipline to affirmative action and the funding of public education.  The second, Youth Justice in America, exposes students to the criminal and juvenile justice systems and challenges them to think critically about how society deals with the problems of crime and punishment.
