ahhh..Ohio, its already been before the Supreme Court. I read the oral arguments. It seems to me like they may rule in his favor about free speech and the 10 day suspension if he will drop his lawsuit against the Principle. Many groups from what would be considered the 'religious right' have supported him.

This is a tough call for me...
I am all for free speech, but I'm not sure if a school kid(minor) should have these same rights?

[FONT=Verdana, Times]Some history: Lawsuits over the free-speech rights of schoolchildren exist because the Supreme Court legitimized them in 1969. Several years earlier, a 13-year-old girl and 15-year old boy decided to wear black armbands to their schools in Des Moines, Iowa, to protest the Vietnam War. The schools had a policy against wearing symbolic armbands at school and warned they'd be suspended. They showed up with the anti-Vietnam armbands, were suspended and in what today is the landmark Tinker case for school "speech," Justice Abe Fortas famously wrote that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
