Moral of the story is you can do the Nazi salute in this school, nothing happens.

As abhorrent as it might be to salute that way, it is protected by that pesky 1st amendment. Can't have it both ways.

“Stop it,” is also protected by the 1st.

His daughter was the only one removed for being “disrespectful.”

The Nazi salute is protected in this classroom, but saying stop it isn’t?

Can’t have it both ways.

Then she also had a 1st Amendment right to tell them to stop it. Actually, teachers and administrators are in charge of the forum of school assemblies and hallways, and of course classes. Juveniles exercise their rights to free speech subject to the sufferance of the adults, and it seems awfully cock-eyed that students have a constitutional right to deliberately torment this girl with Nazi salutes, but she doesn’t have a constitutional right to shout ‘STOP IT!’ if it bothers her. Is there a constitutional right to give out wedgies, too? I admire this girl’s courage. It’s in short supply these days.
