Isn't there another group that does this same type of protest? Gay & Lesbians or AIDS? I know I've heard of this type of protest but it's for a left-wing liberal "cause".

Seems she is being punished for being conservative. Again, freedom of speech is only allowed when it promotes the leftist agenda.

All speech is equal but some is more equal than others.

Actually, that is a principle of case law on First Ammendment cases: Political speech is entitled to the highest level of protection.

Yes, it's called the Day of Silence. They're silent to protest the quote-unquote "silencing of LGBT people." I searched but couldn't find a connection between this particular middle school and the DOS. But, many schools throughout the country are involved in the DOS protest.

So, you're right, this probably has more to do with the young girl embracing what is viewed as a conservative cause.
