The 9th Circuit has validated the concept of "Freedom of speech for me but not for thee."

Thought anyone reading this blog might have some interest in at least knowing about this case. Becaically a kid wore an anti-gay t-shirt to school and was told to remove it. Case went to court and eventually got to the 9th Circuit. According to the majority (Justice Reinhardt...ugh), "derogatory and injurious remarks directed at students' minority status such as race, religion, and sexual orientation" -- which essentially means expressions of viewpoints that are hostile to certain races, religions, and sexual orientations -- are simply unprotected by the First Amendment in K-12 schools.

So by this ruling, the somewhat hip "Boys Suck" t-shirts would be protected (while they are a minority, our society has a past history of oppressing women) while a "Girls are stupid" shirt would be banned. As would some shirt making fun of someone for being fat. Or having glasses. That's just wildly illogical. But it's the 9th.
