Came across this story this morning and found it interesting.

A small group of students in a Washington high school staged a protest in response to a student being told to remove a Sex Pistols' t shirt. That student refused to comply and was sent home. The next day, several more students organized and wore Sex Pistols' shirts as an act of protest and received punitive action from the school.

I applaud the students for their belief in free speech and their use of civil diosbedience to make their point.

More than that, I applaud them for doing their research and the citing the case law precedent of Tinker v. Des Moines in which the U.S. Supreme Court declated that "it can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate. This has been the unmistakable holding of this Court for almost 50 years."

Here is an article with more about the story:
