Students believe that it is thier right to say and express themselves however they want in schools. Students believe that the constitution grants them the right to total free speech in schools. Like in the case where Joseph Frederick unfurled a banner at a school event reading "Bong hits 4 Jesus." Another example is the case of Tinker v. Des Moines, where school children wore black armbands in protest of the Viatnam war to school. Students have feelings and they wish to express them freely in schools and they feel that it is their right to do so.
Administrators want restrictions and regulations on student free speech in schools in order to make their school a better learning enviornment. They believe that students need restrictions because without them schools could be chaotic. Administrators believe that any speech or expression that endangers the well-being of other people in the school should be outlawed. An example is the case where Joseph Frederick unfurled a banner reading "Bong hits 4 Jesus" at a school event. Administrators made him take it down because they believe it advocated drug use, which they believe endangerd the other students. School administrators want what's best for students, and they believe that restrictions and regulations of free speech is what's best.
