[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fail to see the problem with this. The kids should understand that what they post has consequences. It would be one thing if they hacked into private accounts or something, but if they're posting stuff publicly, they have to face the consequences. It's not like students have freedom or speech or anything.[/quote]

Of course they have freedom of speech.[/quote]

No, they don't. See Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier.[/quote]

Not to mention Morse v. Frederick (the "bong hits 4 Jesus" case):

Really hope you are not a lawyer. I expected a higher level of legal discourse on DCUM somehow.[/quote]

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier and Morse v. Frederick are two Supreme Court cases about the limits of free speech in schools. I am not a lawyer. Could you please explain to me what is wrong about referencing these two cases? [/quote]

It's because everyone knows that the First Amendment is not absolute. It hasn't ever been absolute. Hazelwood and Morse are two cases that imposed additional limitations with respect to public schools, but there are still First Amendment rights in school. So citing Hazelwood and Morse doesn't really mean much, broadly speaking, because we already know that First Amendment rights are not without limits. [/quote]
