Statement of Policies, Findings And Objectives Sample Clauses

Statement of Policies, Findings And Objectives. 1. Regrettably, bias crimes and bias-related acts occur with alarming frequency in our society. The communities victimized by this form of anti- social behavior are gripped by uncertainty, tension, and conflict. Bias crimes and bias-related acts, by their nature, are confrontational, inflame tensions, and promote social hostility. These acts jeopardize the active and open pursuit of freedom and opportunity. They represent nothing less than a direct attack upon the racial, religious, and ethnic heritage of our citizens. 2. The New Jersey Legislature has adopted criminal laws that provide for enhanced punishment where a person commits a crime with a purpose to intimidate an individual or group of individuals because of race, color, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. These laws are designed to punish conduct, not speech. The parties to this Agreement recognize in this regard that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and its state constitutional counterpart guarantee freedom of expression, which includes the right to express bigotry, hatred, and ignorance. However, the parties to this Agreement further recognize that the application of First Amendment principles is different with respect to speech or conduct occurring in elementary and secondary schools. Accordingly, it is well-accepted that school administrators have a legitimate interest in preserving the order and decorum of schools, and that certain forms of speech, though otherwise protected under the First Amendment, may impinge on other students’ rights, may impermissibly disrupt the orderly operation of a school and, thus, can materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline within a school. 3. The parties to this Agreement affirm their belief that bias crimes and bias- related acts are simply incompatible with the basic educational mission and the environment of a school. Although all bias crimes and bias-related acts are serious matters that deserve prompt attention by appropriate law enforcement authorities, the parties to this Agreement recognize that such conduct is especially serious when it occurs on school grounds or involves school-aged children. Bias crimes and bias-related acts by their nature have the great potential to disrupt the educational environment and thereby deprive students and educators of their fundamental rights. 4. The parties further recognize that school-aged children are especially vulnerabl...
