Excellent!
Thank you judge for your all-to-rare sanity and good sense.
Wait, so freedom of speech is still legal?
This judge nailed it! There is no law of any kind to prevent this. It is not prohibited by the Constitution either.
Some sanity for a change.
It’s about time they rule that public school students are not “the state” or “the church”
But that would set a bad precedent: it might lead to them not being considered subservient to the state.

What? You mean that cheerleaders are not powerful enough to establish a state religion by waving a banner? I thought those girls could do everything and spoke for the federal government.
O RLY? I was sure the Texas legislature had thought to prohibit this dreadful crime, specifically!
