i know it's been their first free speech case in years, i just disagree with any further erosion of rights, and to say a child has less rights, or less rights in school--well, i disagree with that.

but then again.....don imus was fired, which some said took away his rights--no, he still has the right to say what he said, they just took his forum away. is that what the school was doing?

i just don't like it when they seem to be willing to erode the rights of minors, in public school, and i think this is one more example of that...i still think tho that had he not said bong hits FOR JESUS, this may not have gone so far.
