‘Daylight Rule’ May Get ACLU Kiss-Off
Officials have embraced a “Daylight Rule” to ban kissing and other affectionate displays between students, but the American Civil Liberties Union says the rule smacks of violating constitutional rights.
The rule, which means daylight must be visible between students, was enacted at Nederland School last week. About 270 students, grades 7 through 12, attend the rural mountain school.
But David Miller, regional legal director of the ACLU, said disciplining students over the rule could threaten constitutional rights of privacy and freedom of association.
