The American school faces a daunting task. Like most Americans, teenagers do not enjoy being told what they can and cannot say. They also typically resent having to spend the majority of their waking hours within the schoolhouse walls. It is no over-statement to say, then, that schools walk a thin line when they attempt to regulate what these involuntary participants wish to say. The public school is in an even tougher spot. Not only must it navigate the unenviable task of managing a vocal and unwilling population, but it must also comply with the United States Constitution and its guarantee of the freedom of speech.
