I personally am of the opinion that to a certain degree children do lose their rights as they walk in the school doors, and that to an even larger extend children do not have the same rights as adults.

All that, however, is moot for me on this one since the kid was not on school property (and I believe not in school custody) when he did it.

And if he was on property then suspension would seem excessive. Just take the sign away.

And blueerice, if you haven't seen it, Slate hosted a discussion between Dahlia Lithwick and a couple other court watchers last week with the topic being all the end of session rulings. You might find that an interesting read as many good points were raised.
