That's the question asked by Smerconish. What does HROT think?
The speech in question is F-bombs directed at the school/school activities. The punishment is suspension.
Is Instagram (or whatever) really "outside school grounds" when the intended audience is fellow schoolmates?
Do high school kids have the same speech rights as adults?
Does it matter whether the speech question is hate speech?
Or is this just a simple free speech question?
Note: Roberts has ruled for the school and against students in at least one prior case.
