Conversely, there's the Hazelwood decision, which gave school officials broad powers to censor school newspapers. Anyone who's attended a public school in the last 20 years knows that free speech rights are heavily regulated when you cross the threshold.

True, but not because the Constitution doesn't protect 'minors'; their being 'minors' has nothing to do with it. Students' Constitutional rights are simply subject to a higher degree of regulation in school because of the school's need to maintain an environment conducive to education.

There and with speechcodes at the university level.


I do like that you have libs who are putting on a National organized protest or what have you and a few Conservative students get sent home. I'm glad i'm not in school any more because i'd be causing trouble all the time.
