[quote=Anonymous]Here's a (surprisingly boring) 30 minute video from the ACLU on student protest: https://youtu.be/Q6ghXMtooV8 Short version: schools may give students the same punishment for an action that involves political speech as they would give for an action that is apolitical. So if students cut class for a protest they can receive the same punishment (per written discipline policy) given to students who cut class to go to the mall. However, they cannot be given harsher punishment-so a school may not suspend walkout students, while general class cutters only get detention, because they would be violating the 1st amendment by punishing political speech. Schools may also choose to waive punishment for walkout students, as they might waive punishment for a student who cut class but had some extenuating circumstance.[/quote]
