- "Students' Rights: Then and Now"
- Summary: In 1969 the Supreme Court found that students "do not shed their constitutional rights...at the schoolhouse gate." Today, most schools retain the right to regulate speech if it is "disrupting school activities." But who decides what is disruptive?

Nice work Charlie, I'm glad I finally got to hear this piece. Its very thorough and well thought out. My only qualm is that wearing a shirt with Bush and the title "International Terrorist" on it is pretty different from black arm bands. I see what your getting at and being free to express yourself, but an armband isnt distracting anyone whereas a shirt with that stuff on it is, despite expressing an opinion, in questionable taste. IMO, the prinicpal did the right thing to have him turn it inside out. But then again, you know my stance when it comes to politics ;)
