Description
INTRODUCTION The same scenarios come up time and time again in student free speech cases. A student spreads rumors about fellow students on his own website. School authorities find out about the website and intervene. (1) A group of students publishes an "underground" newspaper and distributes it on campus. School authorities see the newspaper and suspend the student. (2) A student creates a website threatening or mocking the school principal. Word spreads, the principal finds out, and he suspends the student. (3) A student writes a disturbing poem. It makes its way to school and authorities suspend the student for fear of violence. (4) Sometimes courts uphold the suspensions. Other times, courts hold that schools have impermissibly trampled on student free speech rights.
