"'A tasty venison burger being necessary for the quality of a good cookout, the right of the people to keep and bear hunting/sporting weapons (that aren't too scary and that we say are ok despite our lack of actual knowledge) shall not be infringed.' Said no constitutional amendment... Ever." --TGS
Apologies, I hit modify instead of quote. Other than this I left it all the same :)

That is funny sh*t right there.
Anywho, thought this was a good read.

Wondering if the old hands on here could lend an opinion as to its accuracy. I'm a bit to young to remember (I was 7).
Dan W:
I found nothing in that article I could dispute ... Good read

I just read this awhile ago.
http://www.infowars.com/high-school-student-suspended-for-writing-poem-about-sandy-hook-massacre/
--- Quote ---Her poem spoke about the possible motivations that could have inspired Adam Lanza’s murderous rampage, but apparently that was ground not to be treaded on as the school suspended her for it and is threatening to permanently expel her.
Her school, the Life Learning Academy on Treasure Island in San Franscisco, Cali., saw the poem as a threat and said it violated their zero tolerance policy on violence.

That school is part of the San Francisco Unified School District. It is a public school with a fancy name.
Consider this. By allowing Christian students to read their Bibles on school buses, classrooms, or other school property, or pray at school functions like games or graduation, etc..., the SCOTUS ruled that, in affect, school board policies which "allowed" such activities were, effectively no different from Congress passing a law establishing or creating a state religion. Got that? You aren't smart enough to tell the difference between Congress and a School board. Therefore, such activities are "unconstitutional".
Now, it seems, these quasi-congressional bodies CAN suspend the 1st Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,..."
So, now it's a "twofer". both the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech are now illegal in public schools, if the rulings of school boards and principals mean anything. Both clauses have been turned onto their heads, making them mean the exact opposite of the meaning of the plain text.
HuskerXDM:
Freedom of Speech hasn't existed in schools for quite some time... either by students or by staff.
