The ACLU of Delaware urges the Appoquinimink School District not to enact their proposal letting parents restrict library and curriculum materials if they are marked "Young Adult," which would limit the rights of students and the academic freedom of educators.

We are introducing a new feature—stories of why you decided to join the ACLU and become one of Delaware’s many voices of liberty. Read in interview with Mitch Crane about his long-time affiliation with the ACLU.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware (ACLU-DE) has sent a letter to the Capital School District Board of Education advising them that the social media policy they are considering for students violates the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution. The policy, as written, would govern student communication both on and off school property and would apply whether school or personal electronic equipment was used.

Sometimes the ACLU-DE gets to work on fun projects—like protecting the right of a street performer to play his guitar in Trolley Square. That was the case recently, when the Wilmington Police came down a little too hard on John Crowley and he turned to us for help.
