Teachers have a right to freedom of speech, especially on matters of public concern, according to Supreme Court rulings. This principle balances the interests of the teacher as a citizen in commenting upon matters of public concern and the interest of the state, as an employer, in promoting the efficiency of the public services it performs through its employees.
