Anyone can say anything they want at any time. What people forget is that words may come with consequences.
Schools must have rules for a number of reasons, mainly because they are full of kids. Dress codes for schools apply across all students and must not discriminate. So, if a school has a rule that any words can’t be on shirts, no child can have words on their shirt.

What you are talking about has been in the courts a number of times.

That’s not what free speech means.

Actually that is what free speech means
FREE SPEECH. Curse words and vulgarity is included in that and the constitution is above any authority the school has

The school is not congress and its rules are not laws. I’m not sure how you think the first amendment applies.
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
yes, I already said that. The constitution is above any authority the school has
It applies to everyone all the time within the US

Ok. Let’s break this down: Your definition and interpretation of free speech is irrelevant. You can interpret anything however you want whenever you want and that is fine. Your arguments may not hold up in court and you cannot force that definition on others.
As broken as our legal system is, it is all we have for now. As such, you need to understand that the only definition of free speech that matters is the one that has been interpreted by a court of law.

You can keep babbling on like a SovCit if you want, but you need to understand our legal system and how rights work, especially for minors.
