Scriptures shredded at Georgia school

Yes and no. A citizen is guaranteed first amendment rights, but that guarantee doesn't allow a person to violate another person's first amendment rights.

Anyhoo, to this topic, the cheerleaders weren't acting as individuals, they were acting as representatives of the school at the time of the incident. So the Amendment I restriction on government applies to them. Even if they weren't acting as representatives of the school per se, they still don't have Amendment I rights unbridled. For example, a profanity is protected speech, but if the school has a "no profanity" policy on its students, it's not a violation of Amendment I.

 

An individual does not have the ability to violate another person's 1st Amendment rights.

In all my time of teaching, I've never seen a cheerleader squad that wasn't considered a private club.

 

Here cheerleaders represent the school and are subject to the same rules as other athletes. This was the rule in Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, New Mexico and now Texas. Your experience seems to be the exception rather then the rule.

 

Sorry JohnV, I did not mean to call you an (SNIP) (Well, I did, but was reminded that is not a good thing here on BB.). What I meant was, you don't have the brains of a cod.

 

Second apology:
I am sorry to all the cod out there. My remarks are in no way meant to try to connect you to a liberal.
(Great. Now I'm going to get hate mail from cod-fishermen.)

 

Let me rephrase:

The courts are an illiterate (substitute three-lettered word for beast of burden).

 

And the courts are an illiterate (beast of burden).

The point isn't about what the "Supremes" have said. I know what they've said. My point is about what the First Amendment says, not what the courts, who have perverted it and used it to further an agenda it was ratified to prevent, say.
