    I strongly disagree with this. School districts MUST ALWAYS discipline those who promote hate speech. This is a public demonstration of hate.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1066368010754158593 …

    Free-speech rights would make it difficult to discipline students who appeared in a viral photo showing several high school boys giving what appears to be a Nazi salute, Wisconsin school district officials said. https://abcn.ws/2DVgtlB  pic.twitter.com/mW0j5f0yBr

        I find it very telling that they can discipline black kids for supporting the Anthem protest, but all of sudden it is a free speech issue for racist white kids 😱😱😑😑🤔🤔?!?!?!

        Suddenly the fact that they are on school grounds making a “political” statement would become relevant. The school board would actually work to find a way to punish the students instead of looking for ways to dismiss it.

        A Nazi salute can be considered free speech/free expression, but a girl wears a spaghetti strap tank top to school and suddenly her free expression is disruptive and a distraction. So selective.

        School districts limit the first amendment in a huge way everywhere. In this instance, it’s clear they’re protecting the “futures” of the ever protected white male. It’s beyond disgraceful. I’m sure this same district sends kids home due to hairstyles and dress no problem.

        We do. The court may not be able to punish these kids, but the school can. Other things that students get punished for and not protected under free speech: - Social Media harassment - Cursing - Verbally assaulting a classmate or teacher - Inappropriate comments - Gang signs

        This is BS!! Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier. Established a lower level for freedom of speech when that speech occurs within a school setting - not intended for general public expression. The prom is a school setting, you cannot do or say whatever you want there.
