Oh yes it can. And should.

No we don't.
It's literally the first amendment. Student was exercising her first amendment rights. School has a right to tell her that they don't agree with the opinions she expressed but certainly not the authority to punish her.
Else it's a slippery slope [0] [1] [2]

- newacct583 6y agoAgain, if she said this in school it would be an irrelevancy and no one would have heard about it or care. Clearly the school is empowered to punish students for their speech, period. And SCOTUS isn't remotely interested in trying to draw a line there. The question here is under what circumstances student speech can be regulated, not whether.
