Student’s Free Speech Case May Lead To Legislation — Courant.com
So the same institutions that are teaching our children that they have the right to free speech are punishing them for exercising that right. And what is this? Judges are supporting the SCHOOLS. What a beautiful country we live in.
I am amazed that this is an issue. Such a well thought out argument for banning free speech of students online: “Off-campus speech can become on-campus speech with the click of a mouse.” But then, under that rationalization, anything can easily become on campus speech if you wrote it down and someone else brought it onto the campus. Might as well stop pretending that Constitution applies to students.
It’s particularly interesting that the speech she was punished for was criticism of the administrators. Granted, it was a little strongly worded, but isn’t this the exact type of thing the first amendment is supposed to protect?
