Controversial Issues 

When a controversial subject arises in the classroom, teachers may use the opportunity to teach about the controversy but shall take care to ensure that curricular content delivery remains the focus of the conversation.

Teachers shall ensure that various positions concerning any controversial subject are presented and that students have the opportunity to freely discuss the topic. Teachers are discouraged from expressing personal viewpoints during these discussions which would violate any board policy or Kansas law, such as engaging in prohibited political acts using district time or property.
