FReeper legal eagles: what say on this? Also could the legal strategy in the minor filing suit be that when decided it will be binding on all school princials and boards that want to try prior restraint?
The incident as I read it concerned the song "Break On Through (to the other side)"
This is a little off thread, but let's repair to the FreeRepublic Lounge, where the Lizard King himself is crooning away--
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Yeah!
C'mon, yeah
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get
She get
She get
She get high
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through (X4)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Break on Through

Can't mix religion with Govmint schools you know. Might offend somebody.
I hope this student sues. What a crock of ...
Bovine Scat!
Where is Jesse jackson when you need him.
And with the Doors, I only recall that the movie related the incident to the song, Light My Fire: "Girl, we couldn't get much higher." Morrison wondered if something like "Baby, won't you bite my wire," would be better.

So this is the school that is squashing the free speech of others? (minors or no)
Something that needs to be understood is that the "local letters to the Editor" Section in Your newspaper was meant for Opinions. And here's the reality check.... I am positive that your opinions, and the opinions of all of your students DO NOT MATCH as one nice warm fuzzy opinion.
Who are you to tell to tell this student that he cannot voice his opinions in a public forum??? This (If anyone's right) is his parents. Did he write this letter on campus? Did he also mail it from Campus? Did he use School stationary and stamps? I Doubt it.
In otherwords, there is no accounting for how you are rationalizing the fact, that you are trampling on this young man's freedom of speech.
PERMISSION?....GFY!
...Just my humble opinion...(JMHO)

Not likely on the latter - as this article is dated Lubbock, and I don't live in Texas. But I'll have to remember that first part - shoot first, ask questions later.
Or as I've always heard: it's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.
