Free Speech in School (Does it Exist?)

        click here to see the video 

        

        This year marks the 40th anniversary of the famous Supreme
 Court case Tinker
        v. Des Moines when the court ruled in favor of students who had
        been suspended for protesting the Vietnam War. The Tinker case stated
        that students "do not shed their constitutional rights to
        freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." But
        40 years later, students are still facing challenges to their free
        speech and expression in school: student articles are censored, strict
        dress codes imposed, internet filters block access to valuable web
        resources, school plays are canceled...
