the case of a group of students who were disciplined for taking part in a protest related to the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school.
I remember this. I was in jr high at the time. They called it Moratorium Day. Interesting how widespread it became in an age before cellphones, Twitter, I/M-ing, etc .A few of my classmates came to school wearing the black armbands. The principal (a WWII vet himself) and administrators b*tched and moaned but ultimately took no action saying it was their right to freely express themselves. Ironic how those who participated in this "silent protest" against the Vietnam War are now trying to suppress the same rights they so cherished for themselves.

When have they ever supported contrary opinions? Look at what they did to the troops who came home. Fascists all of them.

The ONLY reason the subhuman worthless leftist vermin 'protested' the Vietnam war was to protect the communism there...so that they could one day have the 'right' to brutally oppress the rights of others.
