Re: TCC Students File Lawsuit Over Protest Restrictions
I'm not sure restricting empty hoster wear indoors really passes muster either -- they should sort his out at the final hearing (altho that will be too late for this protest). While there are recognized restrictions on speech in the classroom (e.g. if it is a chemistry class, the professor has a legitimate right to forbid students from running on about literature, the health bill, etc), protest symbols that do not disrupt class cannot be forbidden. Some schools tried to ban black ribbons and armbands during the Vietnam war, and the courts (SCOTUS I think, not sure) said no, that's ok. I would see an empty holster in the same category.
