American students planning on participating in this Friday’s school climate strike should know their rights in case they’re threatened with punishment.

That’s the message from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which reminded students of their rights Thursday by linking to a comprehensive overview of Constitutional protections on school grounds the group created last year. 

“If you’re a public school student, you don’t check your constitutional rights at the schoolhouse doors,” the ACLU document says. “But whether schools can punish you for speaking out depends on when, where, and how you decide to express yourself.”

While students might face some school punishment for taking part in the strike, the ACLU notes that the punishment cannot exceed that of similar actions. 

“Because the law in most places requires students to go to school, schools can discipline you for missing class,” according to the ACLU. “But what they can’t do is discipline you more harshly because of the political nature of or the message behind your action.”
