Journalists are usually strong supporters of the First Amendment protection of freedom of speech.
That is a position they share with the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin. After reading this editorial, however, I question whether the Wisconsin State Journal has any clue at all regarding the First Amendment. People who don't make their living from crafting words might be taken in by this overly clever argument. The bottom line is more straight forward. Apparently, neither the State Journal , nor Principal Milton McPike, bothered to ask these questions.
