Fighting For Free Effing Speech

 THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL was not selected for the varsity cheerleading squad, and was relegated to the JV. she was, like, soo totally pissed. She logged on to her device and begin tossing f bombs like confetti on new Year's Eve. Nothing escaped her Effing wrath. The school suspended fer from cheerleading altogether for one year. Egged on presumably by her parents, et al, She went to court, and the case worked its way all the way to the supreme court, where she won. the court ruled that the school had overstepped its legitimate authority, and had infringed on her free speech, since her bad mouth tweeting had taken place off campus, where the school administration lacked jurisdiction. By the time all this took place, it was too late for it to do any good for the  young foul mouthed lady, since she has long since graduated, gone to college, married, had a family, pursued a career, retired, and moved into an assisted living facility, without ever having been allowed to rejoin the varsity cheerleading squad. Still, it was worthwhile, because she gained the satisfaction of winning her war against her old alma mater, helped establish an invaluable precedent for the free speech first amendment rights of public school students in the digital age, and thus opened the door to other foul mouthed young scholars to verbally abuse their institutions of learning from afar. She has no regrets, according to her caregiver. this marks the first time in more than fifty years that the highest court in freedom's land has handed down a decision upholding the first amendment rights of America's youthful scholars. it seems to be boiling down to an understanding that schools my limit the free speech of students on campus, but not off campus, which seems reasonable. congress may not infringe, but parents, teachers, employers, and a whole host of other folks may infringe; free speech is not absolute. home owners may infringe upon anybody that damned well want to, on their own property, since they too are not congress. Most Americans do not understand this simple reality, that the constitution only limits what congress can do speech wise, and by extension government, but nobody else. but, take heart; there are ways to overcome tyranny. One must only become eighteen years old to cast off the chains of parental speech infringement, one must one graduate or quit school to cast off the bondage of in school speech infringement, and one need only quit one's job or retire to cast off the tyranny of enforced quiet in the workplace. Better yet, the only way an American citizen can lose free speech protection from congressional infringement is to leave the country.
