Both of them require government (campus or state) control over Christian groups. Or did, Georgetown has kicked six protestant Christian groups off campus. Officials of the Catholic university said that they felt unable to keep track of precisely how the groups were ministering to students and that group officials had not attended school-run religious services […]
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that Zachery Guiles can wear a T-shirt to school that labels President Bush the "Chicken-Hawk-In-Chief" and accuses him of being a cocaine addict and drunkard.

You see, in one of my upper-division English courses at Cal Poly, I made a mistake. I unwittingly got a professor […]
There's another thoughtful article on the local case I mentioned earlier this week about a student who wore an "Homosexuality is Shameful" T-Shirt to school the day after a Gay/Lesbian sponsored "Day of Silence." The piece by Dale Carpenter makes the argument that current law, the Tinker case dealing with Vietnam-era anti-war protests, is bad […]
Last week the Oceanside Unified School District closed down its high schools and junior high schools Thursday and Friday after several days of student protests.
