Sadly, the administration can do whatever they want to anyone and get away with it. A parent s guess or a teacher s caring concern will bear more weight to administrators than would the word of thirty students in any disciplinary case. Schools teach us only that hard work equates to success, and facts, details, and in-depth understandings are seldom important. This is a serious issue disciplinary actions ruin people s lives. It does not matter.
Opinion is supposed to be protected by the U.S. constitution anyway.
Students do not have a choice. We can not fight all the way to the Supreme Court over a law telling us what we can not wear or say it costs too much money and time. Spending years in the courts will completely rob most students of a chance at a good education. Our only option is outside of the system, and too few a number of students have been violated enough to be willing to take more punishment in hopes that we can earn some rights through non-violent resistance, or worse. The truth stabs itself in the back.
