So Martin Sheen can use duct tape to protest but not this student. I don't get what you see as the difference. If the student can not particpate in class because her mouth is taped shut, then she fails the class for the day.
But her rights to peaceful statement can not be abridged.
Are you sure you don't work for the Chinese government. Sounds like they can use you in Tibet.

I think YOU need a little duct tape on your keyboard...
Martin Sheen doesn’t have to answer questions in geometry class.
I agree with Matthew Fuller. I would think duct tape over the mouth would be very disruptive to the class.
I’ve done some teaching. There needs to be a give and take between the students and the teacher, and a student who won’t participate, well that’s a waste of good taxpayer money. The fact that the gay students do it is disgusting, also.
School is not a place to protest, any more than the workplace is. I know I am out of step with the majority of society, but that’s the way I see it. If a student shows up in my class and won’t participate, I would send them out.
