Trump-like speech gets Florida student tossed as class president

The kid was mocking Trumps wall

That's pretty bad, he won and they yanked it out from underneath him.

Follow the rules, kids.

What rules? It's basically a popularity contest.

The rules of the - school.

The rules of the schools don't trump the first amendment unless he was being obscene, vulgar, or advocating illegal activity then this was protected speech.

Kids really don't have free speech in school. Had he been preaching about Jesus he'd still be in trouble. A time and a place, kids.

The SCOTUS would beg to differ with your lies.

Obey the rules, kiddo. Maybe you'll know for next time.

And people, students have "limited" free speech rights in school. It ain't the courthouse steps.

grow up.

See the Supreme Court, child. Grownups know this.

Yes the Supreme Court has ruled that the 1st amendment extends to public schools.


"It can hardly be argued that neither students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." -- Tinker v. Des Moines

It's a limited right. In this case the black armband wasn't causing a disruption. Anything that does they can take actions to fix. They are kids, not adults, and the school is - In Loco Parentis.

Speech in school can only be limited if it is obscene, vulgar, or advocates breaking the law, the kid speech would not fall into any of those categories thus protected.

Tinker doesn't say what you think it does. There is no Tinker test. If the school tells a kid to STFU he had better listen.

Someone needs to disqualify that principal.

So...what we are learning that if one were to behave like trump, it is inappropriate behavior for someone trying to be polite and mature. We all knew that already.

 

[HenryBHough]

Someone needs to disqualify that principal.

With extreme prejudice.
