iddle on this because the topic did involve an illegal use of a controlled substance. But there is a bigger issue here and that is violation of the right to free speech. He was standing on the side walk so there for he was not on school property so he should not have been any thing to do with school. He was not on the property that the school owned. Where I am sure that the school had a police of no illegal drug on in school or in the school environment. But when did the sidewalk become a part of the school, I believed that the side was belonged to the city not to a school.
Even in school I do not think that the principle has the right to say what can and can not be said unless it is a verbal attack to a another person. So for them to step in even if he did it to get even with the principal Morse for his actions taking action for disciplined that he did on Frederick . Morse still was wrong in action for trying to control the speech of a student of the property. It would be like saying that we as student do not have to right to say what we think her.
I do understand that this is a teenager but still teens have the same right under the first amendment to say what is on their minds as long as it is not verbal assault on anyone else.
I think that the 10 day suspension for violating a school policy on promoting illegal drug use. Was wrong all the way around as it did not happen on school property but there is still the problem that this teens rights were violated.
