The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment 
The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provides teachers with some protections. Teachers have the right to an environment free from racial, sexual, and national bias and protections for their right to learn, privacy, and religious expression (Seals & Gonzales, 2019). The term "academic freedom" can be interpreted in various ways. After all, most educators place a premium on being able to teach without excessive constraints. To communicate ourselves and teach students things that would be forbidden by law or unethical outside of a classroom, we rely on the First Amendment, possibly the greatest one that safeguards both teachers and students.
Digital Citizenship
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires schools and libraries that receive federal funding for Internet access to use filters or other technology to block obscene or harmful content. The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act (PCA) amends CIPA to require that schools and libraries receiving federal funding for Internet access also implement measures to protect minors from online predators. Both CIPA and PCA are federal laws. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires websites and online services to obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (. (Seals & Gonzales, 2019). COPPA is a federal law. Public school educators are constrained in their ability to teach without excessive censorship of classroom materials and discussions.
Bullying
The federal Equal Access Act requires that public schools provide equal access to extracurricular activities, regardless of religious affiliation. This means that schools must allow students to form clubs and other extracurricular groups, as long as the school does not discriminate against any particular religion. The current school and district policies related to teachers' responsibilities to protect students’ rights and safety for bullying have been explained herein. Primarily, all students have the right to a safe and supportive learning environment free from bullying, harassment, and discrimination (Koch, 2020). Teachers are responsible for creating a safe and supportive learning environment in their classrooms and for taking action to prevent and address bullying behaviour. If a teacher observes bullying behaviour, they are to intervene directly to stop the behaviour and provide support to the victim. If a student report being bullied, the teacher is to take immediate action to investigate the incident and take appropriate disciplinary action.
Reporting Requirements for Suspected Child Abuse
When it comes to the safety and well-being of students, teachers have a responsibility to report any suspected cases of abuse or neglect. In most states, this includes any physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect or abandonment. Teachers are often the first line of defense when it comes to protecting students, so it is important that they are aware of the signs of abuse and know how to properly report their suspicions...
