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.
Yes she did, but apparently she was being disruptive when she tried, and that is why she was sent to the office, not because she disagreed with the people saluting.
