A guy holds up a 15 foot banner across the street from his Juneau, Alaska highschool during the Olympic torch run. The principal suspended him.
Why a case like this makes it to the Supreme Court is a mystery to me. Setting aside from the Rastafarian sentiments of the banner, the lad was on a public sidewalk. The behavior may have been controversial, but it wasn't disruptive and it doesn't really challenge the right of school officials to control behavior on the premises of the school, since it occurred off-campus, so to speak.
No brainer. Move on.
