Supreme Court Holds that Teachers' Mailboxes Are Not a Public Forum.

Flygare, Thomas J.

Phi Delta Kappan, v64 n9 p659-60 May 1983

School boards may permit incumbent teacher unions access to mailboxes while prohibiting rival unions such access. Dissenting justices argued that exclusive access is discrimination and amounts to censorship and infringement of the First Amendment. School boards should consider carefully before granting exclusive access to incumbent unions. (PB)
