...The U.S. Supreme Court examines the balancing act of a public employer with its employees First Amendment Rights. A high school teacher wrote a letter to local town newspaper criticizing the board of education management of funds between athletics and academics. The teacher was terminated and sued claiming his First Amendment rights were violated by the board. The Court found that public employees, such as teachers or firefighters are entitled to some First Amendment protections (In Pickering v. Board of Education (1968)). The challenge is to discover the balance between the interests of the public employee, as a citizen, when commenting about issue that concern the public, as an employer, in promoting the manner in which service is provided to the customer. The teacher’s letter did not involve any personal attacks on supervisors or coworkers and was sent to the editor of the newspaper. The court determined that the board sole interest was to limit the comments made by the teacher which is why he was terminated. This case gave rise to several other cases which created a time period of...

...in Pakistan as well and never come to the forefront. The research aims to identify the types of harassment that exist in the secondary and undergraduate sectors of education in Pakistan and the reasons why these incidents are not brought to the attention of the legal system. So far there has not been a study on female sexual harassment in Pakistan that explores the incidence of harassment among the female student community, which is irksome especially given the recent accusations of harassment leveled against an instructor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), a prestigious university in a posh area of Lahore. One would assume that such an incident would be stimulus enough for rights’ groups to initiate a research into this aspect of female harassment, which is why we have taken it upon ourselves to do so. The research will be primary in nature, conducted through the distribution of a total of thirty (30) questionnaires among female students of LUMS, the Lahore School of Economics, Lahore Grammar School 55-Main and the Lahore Grammar School Defence (Phase 1). Since these institutes are where the majority of Lahore’s students are educated, they should serve as our periscope into the issues we want to uncover in a more holistic method....
