This young man showed a good deal of maturity. But while rights have limits, those limits are not determined by a subjective and arbitrary determination of the level of maturity. Rights may be limited when a compelling government interest- or at minimum a rational basis for doing so. In this case I don't think so.Just as the constitution gives rights to citizens constantly, itis understood that those rights come with the maturity of the person who is going to exercise those rights.As I pointed out, their freedom of speech cannot be used in school if it’s disruptive. You must have a learning disability which prevented you from comprehending that.”An ELEVEN YEAR old in a school setting, does not have the right to Freedom of Speech.”No. You and others like have lost you sensibilities because you can't grasp the concept of freedom of speech and expression. We certainly will not be better if we think that can coerce and expression of allegiance. We will be a better place when we become a country where a young man like this does not feel so alienated as to find it necessary to mount such a protest. Do you deny that this country has a shameful history of racism and that racism persists today?
1. An ELEVEN YEAR old in a school setting, does not have the right to Freedom of Speech. He is there to be TAUGHT, and being taught to respect the Flag and the Nation it stands for is completely right and proper.
2. A group that has no defense against deadbeats, let alone actual ENEMIES, is a group doomed to die.
3. The history of racism is no excuse to be hostile to his fellow citizens. If it is, then Diversity and Multiculturalism were not only lies, but deadly poisons to our nation.
4. Racism today? At least white racism against blacks, which I know it what you meant, is basically a fringe issue.
LOLOL
You’re truly fucking deranged.
In a public school, all kids have freedom of speech. There are no age requirements on the First Amendment. The only interference on that right is if students become disruptive or infringe on others’ rights.
Is your problem that you hate kids? Hate the Constitution? Or just hate America in general?
You got 30 kids in a class, who are there to learn from the teacher, and you want each and every one of them to have the right to express themselves during class, when and how they want?
That would immediately be disruptive AND infringe on the rights of the other students.
Do I have to explain that further, or is this where you have to admit that your ideology has failed in this particular instance?
Still, you moronically think students in a public school don’t have the right to freedom of speech. That’s as fucked up as anything you’ve ever written.
Show me where the Constitution places age requirements on freedom of speech? Show me where the government entity, like a public school, can revoke anyone’s freedom of speech?
The courts would not honor the rights of an 11 year old to take it upon himself to bring a soapbox to school, stand on it in the hallway and give a speech that the kid's rights of eating lunch at the school's time plan is against the freedom of students rights and learning Language Arts is offensive to all that want to talk and write how they feel. Anything that is considered disruptive would not be allowed.
Thus, maturity is incorporated inherently in the constitution
Your false equivalency logical fallacies impress no one. The scenarios that you conjured up are blatantly disruptive and undermine the functioning and purpose of the institution.
The school violated state law and his constitutional rights and then tried to cover it up by claiming that he was disruptive and threatening.
