The majority opinion filed April 29, 2006, is hereby amended
as follows:

    1. At Slip Op. at 4676, footnote 28, at the end of
    the footnote, add: “We do not exclude, however, the
    possibility that some verbal assaults on the core
    characteristics of majority high school students
    would merit application of the Tinker “intrusion
    upon the rights of other students” prong. That ques-
    tion is not presently before us.”

The dissenting opinion filed April 29, 2006, is hereby
amended as follows:

    1. At Slip Op. at 4710, footnote 11, between  and ,

    would merit application of the Tinker ‘intrusion
    upon the rights of other students’ prong.” Id. at ___
    n.28.

Appellants’ petition for rehearing en banc is still pending
