I don't believe that. I was just saying that I don't necessarily agree with the court's previous positions on speech in schools and therefore there
might be something to talk about with this case but that is unnecessary since the kid was not on school property. Even if the school gave permission for the student to leave property for this event. Similarly, through high school I had permission to leave campus for lunch and to attend classes at a nearby community college, even though my presence in those places was sanctioned by the school I do not think they'd have any right to punish me for any speech (or even any actions) I might commit during that time.
However, even if he had been on school property I likely would have come down on his side since even though I think schools need to have an ability to control disruptive speech I don't think this would have qualified. Though it would be fuzzier for me.
