In the last month the U.S. Supreme Court has issued a number of rulings that have significant impact on schools and teachers. Today on the podcast we’re going to focus in on three of those cases, review their history, and what the Supreme Court’s latest rulings means for educators.

Joining us to help us understand these cases is Heinemann author Robert Kim, who recently wrote Elevating Equity and Justice: Ten U.S. Supreme Court Cases Every Teacher Should Know.

Bob is a former civil rights attorney and the co-author of Education and the Law, 5thed. and Legal Issues in Education: Rights and Responsibilities in U.S. Public Schools Today. He has advised thousands of educators on civil rights and school climate issues in public schools. He has also served as a senior policy analyst at the National Education Association.

Earlier in his career, as a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, he engaged in litigation and advocacy pertaining to race, criminal and juvenile justice, bullying and harassment, LGBTQ rights, and student rights.

Today we’ll be covering the recent rulings related to DACA, Religious Education and public funding and the landmark LGBT Rights case.
