- Title
School Safety v. Free Speech: The Seesawing Tolerance Standards for Students' Sexual and Violent Expressions.
- Authors
Nappen, Louis P.
- Abstract
The U.S. Supreme Court has long sustained laws that treat minors as an exceptional class as long as the distinction is reasonable. Minors often receive added legal protections or leniencies. They are also sentenced in their own juvenile court systems and are exempt from the death penalty. The focus of this paper is symbolic gestures, communication, and expression by primary and secondary school students. The thesis is not concerned with actual assaults, vandalism, and other obviously unacceptable and disruptive behaviors. Three leading Supreme Court cases explore the greater limits and controls of students' free expressions inside educational settings: "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District," "Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier," and "Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser."
