THE SUPREME COURT AND WHISTLEBLOWERS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2008, Pages: 208
Over the last roughly six decades since the United
States Supreme Court first recognized a right for
teachers and other public employees to blow the
whistle on their employers, with some constitutional
impunity, the jurisprudence has undergone significant
metamorphosis. A substantial number of teachers and
other public employees whistleblow annually, yet
there is a considerable vacuum in the literature and
inaccessible information on this important topic.
This book explores this constitutional evolution and
proposes a new test for judicial review of public
employee whistleblowing cases. As part of this
proposed test, the book examines the history of the
three-tier framework used in the Equal Protection
Clause jurisprudence. Everyone, including public
school teachers, public employees, school districts,
public employers, law students, lawyers,
policymakers, legislators, scholars, academics, and
the judiciary, could learn something from this book
about public employment and free speech. Whether you
are an avid or casual reader, it is a brisk read.
