Thom Fladung with Hennes Communications discusses the "First Amendment audits" trend and what schools can do to prepare for them. First Amendment auditors are individuals who go into public buildings, including schools, with video cameras to test their right to access public spaces.

Fladung offers practical advice on how to prepare should a First Amendment auditor appear at your school.
