Students and Religious Expression

06/16/12 ... Students who are forbidden to wear rosaries, stars of David, or hijabs in school are pushing back. The law allows students rights to freedom of speech, and schools can only censor the expression if they can demonstrate or reasonably forecast the expression will be a substantial disruption. Sweeping prohibitions go too far.

06/12/12 ... A student in a public school participated in painting a mural where many other students had added various religious symbols from different religions. When the student's art contained a cross and other Christian symbols, the school wiped them off with paint thinner. After the American Center for Law and Justice helped her protest, the school allowed her to repaint her mural.
