Students really
do have overwhelming free
speech rights, even in a school setting. But free speech is not
always
responsible speech, or appropriate speech, and a school setting is different than
the
general public.
By law, students are
required to attend,
so the rights of the student body
not to be repeatedly exposed to that speech which they, the
school and the
general public find offensive outweigh the individual right of the student to
free speech. Courts have been very consistent on this point.
