Students do have free speech rights, but they are more
constrained than those of adults. School districts can
limit them in the interests of maintaining a disciplined
educational environment. And schools can regulate speech
that, as the Supreme Court put it, "intrudes upon ... the
rights of other students."
The t-shirt mentioned earlier was regarded as doing just
that. Advising a young high school or grade school
student while he's in class that he and other gays and
lesbians are shameful and that God disapproves of them strikes
at the very core of the young students dignity and self worth.
Indeed, however heartfelt, this type of speech is poisonous
stuff. And I agree that school administrators must have some
latitude tp prevent in school speech intended to vilify
minority individuals and groups.
