Seriously? Link? I can't wait to hear the rationale behind this one.

This does not bode well, in light of efforts to revive the "fairness doctrine", and proposals to extend FCC control over programming content to cable TV. It looks to me like all those alleged "strict constructionists" on the Supreme Court may be about to seriously erode the 1st amendment.

You are completely wrong. The court just upheld our first amendment rights by striking down the McCain-Feingold act. They didn't in this case on the precident of 'Time, Place, and Manner' restrictions which have historically allowed administrators to curb any disturbance in school property or near proximity if it is disrputing the function of the school.

There is no logical link from this ruling to the 'fairness doctrine', and I have every reason to believe that they will rule in favor of freedom of the press, as they did in McCain-Feingold.

Hopefully people will begin to see how ridiculous it is to have public schools in the first place, and putting your children under the care of a monolithic, centrally controlled indoctrination system run by the state is perhaps a mistake....
