best heroes are the ones that you never hear about today that hero is john dryden or should i say mr dryden a teacher had bought a via high school in illinois unfortunately right now dryden has been reprimanded for sticking his neck out to protect his students interests you see he recently told his class that they had a constitutional right to decline taking a school survey a survey that the administration said would be used to gauge the emotional and social condition of the students but it wasn't just any old anonymous survey contract with the school administration told parents the one page questionnaire had students' names printed clearly on top followed by thirty four personal questions many of which were about drugs and alcohol abuse so doing what any responsible teacher should do driving told a student that they had a fifth amendment right to decline filling it out explaining to them that if they did it could potentially incriminate them for misconduct the driving was temporarily suspended for doing what he felt was right and he has no regrets he's been speaking out in his defense ever
