Emphasis MINE:
The principles [of fair use] apply in institutional settings and to non-school-based programs. Media literacy education may occur in university classrooms, in elementary schools, in computer labs in community technology centers, or in after-school and summer camp programs run by religious groups or nonprofit organizations. In addition to their fair use rights, teachers in conventional schools enjoy the benefit of limited educational exemptions under Section 110(1) and (2) of the Copyright Act. Educators in community-based organizations may not be covered by these exemptions, but they still can claim the right to use copyrighted materials under the doctrine of fair use.

I spent years trying to explain to people in the SCA that just because a certain lawyer said fair use didn't apply to educational classes in the SCA-- a non-profit 501(c)3 organization-- didn't mean she was right.
