U.S. Supreme Court Allows School T-shirt Ban

Looks like Ornery did his/her (sorry I don't know) law homework.
I think it is BS that children (all the way up to 18), are ever tried as adults.
If you want to make a standard, make one; just not one that applies to some of the kids some of the time.
Free speech should always be protected in ANY government sponsored or mandated environment (last I checked, school was still mandated).
We had the same problem when the voting age was 21, and the fighting/dying age was 18.
The reason we have freedom of speech is so no one else can decide for anyone else, what is offensive.
Just wait until your beliefs are not popular. History tells us, that is just a matter of time.

Actually, that song was written by Annie Linux of the Eurythmics and is, IMO, a fine song. The songs that MM's personally written are far more replusive and disturbing.

No, school isn't the place to voice opinions, it's a place to learn. He can go to the courthouse and protest if he feels the need.

There is a really interesting thing going on in our country now with who and who is not a adult. in my city two trials were going on at the same time, one was a boy who was 16 and having sex with a 22 year old woman, in this case the 16 year old was a child. In the other case the boy was 15 and he was a man. What is going on here? Our legal system is really getting screwey.
