Portland Public Schools quietly adopts rule barring teachers from ‘political or personal’ classroom displays
A new rule governing what Portland Public Schools educators are — and are not — allowed to put on the walls of their classrooms is drawing pushback from its vocal teachers’ union.
Under the rule, items on display in classroom walls and bulletin boards must be related to approved curriculum or district sponsored events. The rules specify that classroom spaces “cannot be used for an employee’s personal expression, whether that is related to a political or personal issue.”
