WHAT is your problem?! I don't believe this to be a First Amendment issue. I see a brat that was told "no" by authority and he rebeled. Yeah, let's teach him not to respect any authority. Then we wonder why our schools are a mess and kids run the show.

And you demean the message and intent of the First Amendment by applying it to something frivolous. The kid lived in an area that did not vote for secession and sided with the north but he has a right to play Johnny Reb. Give me a break!

How his county voted 150 years ago is totally irrelevant.

This young man is using the appropriate tool, the courts, to seek remedy for what he and many others believe is a violation of his right to free speech.

This situation is being handled lawfully and correctly - I have no problem. You seem to have a problem that this young man did not quickly submit to the pressure of his scchool.

Still avoiding my question?
