“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to
freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.”
“Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the
views of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our
Constitution says we must take this risk”
