As we can clearly see, courts have ventured back and forth on free speech as it pertains to students since the Tinker v Des Moines case, I feel like every time there issues get brought up, it is because we have encountered a situation that previous rulings had not covered or even existed.  With that in mind, I feel like case by case is the best way to interpret and apply legal protections.

So, with your suggestion of just 'pretending that stuff teachers say falls under free speech', I cannot agree.  If we are going to situationally limit free speech as it applies to students in the educational environment, I feel that we must also scrutinize what teachers are saying and what the extent of their 1st amendment protections are, as well.

Well, the idea too is public school teachers represent the federal government too, in a sense so my comment wasn't really geared towards someone who actually makes a researched response that involves court rulings and shades of grey.

I just want all the news and I'll pick what's real, dadgummit.  Oooh, hot take....ELON MUSK free speech charter school.
