"The kid wanted to hand out pencils. The government declared he couldn't because they disagreed with the content even though the content is not deemed offensive in normal speech."

Wrong.. The kids parents tried to have him hand out pencils with religious slogans, the content of which were deemed objectionable by some other parents.
The courts declared the kid couldn't because they are sworn to uphold both the public peace, and our constitutional laws.

Get a grip on your fervor.

Ahh...so if some parents object to the American flag, we should remove it. You are siding with the goosesteppers, tpaine.

Didn't the court actually say that the teacher had a right to say the kid couldn't? That's different from saying that the court said that kid's everywhere can't do it.
