BUT! You can say ANYTHING you want about other students and teachers or whatever, and if you get in trouble, you can sue the school, and you will win! It's the LAW!!! Use it to your advantage!
Really? Do you know in what countries this law is applied?
Well theres the United States, the majority of African countries (but they're not good on keeping up with the freedom of speech). Pretty much all of the countries in Asia except Vietnam, Myanmar, North Korea, Turkmenistan, and China. You have in India, and every country in the "European Union" uncluding the UK, which has even better Freedom of Speech. France, Germany, Poland, The Repulic of Ireland, and of course Canada. In Australia, there is nothing protecting the Freedom of Speech, so watch out.
Now, at least here in the United States, Freedom of Speech protects pretty much everything, unless it's at school. You can have anything on your shirt, but if it's against the Dress Code, then it's a No. But I know of a story that I heared on MTV's High School Stories, where a Volleyball player had said some bad things about a teammate on the internet from his house. He got kicked off the team. He sued the school. It had to have been the shortest trial on TV I have ever seen. The Judge just said "Freedom of Speech, he is back on the team!" or something like that, maye a little longer. So, the coaches decided that if the student did not take himself off the team (quit), they would quit, and the team would go down. Now, the school had told all but 2 of the students to either have the one kid quit, or they would. Those 2 kids were him and his friend. The school set him up and it went back to court, again, he won, and the team had to play and all and everything. This was a long time ago, and if you have seen it, please correct me.
