Thank you Heather.

Excuse the very fuck out of me, that they are in public not private school is an issue. Students should have the same constitutional rights as adults when it comes to freedom of speech. Their freedom of speech was abridged by the public school, in my opinion. Nothing else really matters, you can talk dogma all you want. The freedom of speech of the cheerleaders was curtailed by a school system that in my opinion does not have that authority. You can argue this point with me all you wish, unless you have some additional legal arguments, we shall have to agree to disagree.

They do legally have the authority to make a dress code. What makes you think they don't?

Try Googling that. You will find tons of case law where the schools rights to prohibit dress has been curtailed. Tinker vs Des Moines is a landmark decision. That parents rarely follow up on their children's constitutional rights doesn't mean it should not be done. It means community pressure keeps many people from doing what they know is right. Big surprise there.

xxblushesxx -> RE: Breast Cancer T-Shirts for Cheerleaders (10/18/2011 6:25:40 PM)
Are there also several in which the schools rights to maintain a certain dress code was upheld?

I wouldn't have a problem with people just stating their opinions. Greedy and I often disagree on things but I still lubs her. It's when people start calling other people names or claiming because they're too old, too young or whatever they wouldn't understand... Name calling and stuff like that is not just having a discussion. Hell, I went from MILF to old biddy in this very thread. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go soak my dentures.

You can argue this point with me all you wish, unless you have some additional legal arguments, we shall have to agree to disagree. This particular incident might well fall into a gray area, but while you may believe that students in a school setting should have the same rights as adults, that doesn't have much bearing on the fact that, for better or worse, they legally do not in the United States. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that schools have the authority to curtail the speech of students under certain circumstances, writing, "the constitutional rights of students in public school are not automatically coextensive with the rights of adults in other settings." Here's a quick Wikipedia overview. In particular, there's established precedent for barring speech containing sexual innuendo that might reasonably be deemed offensive or disruptive in a high school setting (Bethel Sch. Dist. v. Fraser, 478 U.S. 675).

So by your theory, the students have the right to say, fuck, shit, cunt, tit, asshole and every other dirty word walking down the halls because that otherwise it violates their freedom of speech. Please. At least have a grasp of understand the law before you start spouting off what laws are violated or not.

Freedom is just a nice way of saying anarchy. You'll never have freedom.

The problem with googling is you come across what you did, Wikipedia and you read the first part but you may want to read what some of the Amendments and the cases involved to that ruling have been. You may find yourself surprised that the schools have more control than you imply based on Tinker. And the case was against Des Moines Independent School District, not Des Moines. Des Moines is a city, this was a very specific entity that was a party to this case. And i hate to disappoint you but public schools all over TN have implimented dresscodes for the students, i know other states have also done this. Many students in TN aren't allow to wear shirts with sayings on them, they have to wear certain colors, and have to wear a certain type of pants and shirts. angel

You and I both know the armchair legal authorities like her, google one thing, read only the line that supports them, neglect the rest of the case as a whole, and never read the actual results. Better to let them live with their delusions. More entertaining when they go to court and spout, "but your Honor, in case such and such," and have the judge tell them it is irrelevant.

LOL, you know i almost posted an explanation about discretionary costs. But decided "civic lessons" aren't the only lessons out there.

The students learned a big civic lesson. Before you spend booster money on something, get the school's approval. I've no doubt that little diddy is written down somewhere.

He who places the crown on his own brow can no more complain of its weight. Further now to leave the foolishness to the fools and address the question in the thread. There is no questioning that the school of course is capable of making this ruling and has it within its rights. But in equal measure it is also beyond question that the decision as made was incorrect. It is for the puritanical nature of public America that this decision has been made. It comes to me as no surprise that the ones here who support this decision are to a one American, and that for the most those opposed are not. The culture of America is one of public repression and of a facade of moral uprightness. This can be seen in the primitive laws regarding prostitution. Thus as the morality is a facade it is a lie, and from this reason, the decision that springs therefrom is as well a facade and it is a lie and thus it was incorrect and contrary to the intent and spirit of the nation. Be at peace Aneka

my daughter's school had a dress code. She either followed it or could be suspended. My work had a dress code. We had meetings on it every single week because someone wasn't wearing the correct attire which made the boss yell at us all and threaten us with being written up. We could either follow the dress code or be fired. I don't see how either of these have anything at all to do with freedom of speech. It's simply about there is a time and a place for everything and within private property...the school and my work....they can set up whatever rules they like. You either accept them or you don't and accept the consequences. Simple.
