You have freedom of speech, given we agree with what you say.

[Jeff Chandler]

American schools are run by leftists. This is a natural consequence of that fact.

I am so happy to see this.

Is it any wonder why our schools are so messed up.It's the idiot the dimlibs that run them.

You won't see this story on the evening news anytime soon, I bet....

Alright Josh!

[kinoxi]

these boys would have been run out in a heart beat, i used to think my high school was bad...

[FlingWingFlyer]

The peaceable assembly was to take place across from the school on a public sidewalk (i.e., a traditional public forum).

I think somebody has some esplainin' to do.

American schools are run by leftists. This is a natural consequence of that fact.

Not completely. They are run by those simply afraid of leftists as well. Leftists promote views by complaining so often and so vigorously that people are afraid of offending them. This is how bigotry works, it intimidates reason through consistent and if necessary escalating complaint.

When we said "Free Speech", we didn't mean for you.

'..won't see this story on evening news....

Story forwarded to Brit Hume and O'Reilly.

"Johsua Denhalter"- oh, come on- you can tell from the name, he's both Christian and German (making him white.) He has no rights a liberal is bound to oblige.

[jwh_Denver]

"Richard D. Ackerman, “This is one of the worst governmental censorship cases I have seen in over a decade of practice."

This guy is not a FReeper.

[Publius6961]

Although The public interest firm of Lively, Ackerman & Cowles is representing this student pro bono, I for one think that as a token gesture of support I would love to be able to contribute monetarily to this legal action.

Imagine the message that 200,000 checks for $10 (or more) each would send to the clueless, and to the internal enemies of our culture.

[LostInTheWoods]

Donations are being taken for Denhalter's legal costs through the donation link at www.profamilylawcenter.com. Those interested in helping this young man can designate the money to be used for the "Josh Denhalter First Amendment Fund." Tax deductible donations will only be used to assist in his and related First Amendment cases. Mr. Denhalter is going to boot camp five days after graduating from Jurupa Valley High School and cannot afford the costs of this litigation.

It feels like we now live in bizzaro America, where wrong is right, and right is punishable.

[stopem]

And from the look of things it will only get worse imagine what it will be like if the horrid Senate bill is passed. NIGHTMARE!

[kittymyrib]

Paging Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh...this is a natural story for talk radio/TV. This student sounds like a young patriot who is fighting for his Constitutional right of free speech, and he needs to be supported by everyone who believes in the First Amendment.
