Is Freedom of Speech Absolute?

Is freedom of speech in schools absolute?

How do lawyers (and citizens too, for that matter, know what the law is?

Statutes and Caselaw

How does caselaw work?

Student Expression Caselaw Tinker -- schools can restrict speech that substantially disrupts the work and discipline of the school or interferes with the rights of other students. Fraser -- schools can restrict speech that is lewd, indecent, or plainly offensive when it is inconsistent with the school’s educational mission. Hazelwood -- schools can restrict speech in school- sponsored expressive activities when the public might believe the school is endorsing the message presented (as long as the school’s actions are reasonably related to legitimate teaching concerns).

Allie's Question Imagine you all are lawyers (hey, if I can do it, so can you!) Allie comes to your office and asks the following. Principal Skinner suspended me for a sign I brought to and displayed at an away football game. I think he's being totally unreasonable and violating my first amendment rights. Can you help? What questions do you need to ask?

Law Firms Now, it's your turn. I'm giving you each 3 problems to analyze and discuss in your "firm." Remember to use the rules we learned from the case law and the questions we just came up with.
