As I understand it, the issue of freedom of speech in schools is about if there should be restrictions to a student's speech in school. As the Constitution is written, all Americans, students included, have free speech everywhere. Some speech can be hurtful, harmful, threatening, or distracting to other students in schools, though. Many of these types of speech and behaviors are banned by the schools. The issue is should students be able to have total free speech in schools or should there be restrictions, and if so are these restrictions unconstitutional?
One question I have is why didn't the creators of the Constitution think that complete free speech wouldn't pose problems? I want to know if there are any restrictions of it in the Constitution. One concern I have is whether I'll be able to find enough material on free speech in schools, because the issue of free speech is most prevelant outside of schools. Also, I am unclear as to what the difference is between free speech and free behavior.
