> I think it is a stretch to think that a student could be considered an agent of the state.

So do I. However, as memory serves courts *have* ruled that way in the past... when a student is giving an official graduation speech, reading PA announcements, etc. When they're doing stuf *for* *the* *school*, they are operating as agents of the school.

> But content of speech cannot be regulated by the state unless there is a "Clear and present danger."

The content of speech can *often* be regulated. Check with your employer, for instance.

But wouldn't that be "private speech?" As you probably know there is a difference between public speech and private speech.

And as for checking with my employer....Naaa, don't have one of those and don't want one. Lol
