Whether the student's disciplinary action was founded is another matter. I, for one would tend to err on the side of the Court, but for different reasons (in that I don't believe that the educational process was necessarily interrupted). Instead, I believe that the speech was lewd and offensive, and as such is curtailed within the school as stated in school rules. However, one wonders if the student and the student's parents would have been less likely to bring the matter to court had they had an opportunity to...
I submit that a constructive inclusion of the matter in a public dialogue (in itself, educational) may have made a difference in the levels of misunderstanding and perceived grievance on the part of the student, the student's family, as well as the student body and staff.

Do you wish to teach something in particular to the audience? Are you interested in inspiring or motivating them?
