I don’t care for Stevens’ moralizing, but good call. Even if the association is quasi-governmental, we have a long tradition that free speech has limits when dealing with children. We can restrict children from seeing certain kind of movies, restrict them from wearing t-shirts with nasty sayings while in school, and so forth.

And schools aren’t total “free speech” zones, either.

Why not protest some other rule of the Tenn HS athlet assoc?

Why not protest 4 downs instead of 5 on a team’s possession? Why not protest 3 officials instead of 2 at a HS basketball game?

It’s silly, imho.
