Hays HS Senior Shirt

By mrosman

Some students at Hays HS created a Senior Shirt. According to the Austin American Statesman, the front of the shirt reads “HHS Seniors 2010” and the back says, “Well, that sucked.” The Hays Free Press also reported on the incident.

The Principal has since banned the shirt and confiscated all shirts from students who have worn them on campus.

Is the principal violating the free speech rights of the senior students? Should the government (i.e. Hays CISD, the courts of Hays County) protect the right of the students to wear the shirt?

What does the Tinker case say about student speech? Can this help us understand the issue? What about the Bethel case?
