I agree with Alex, with the exception that it was on school property. Free speech doesn't exist in public schools. He was in violation of school rules, therefor, I believe suspension is in order.

As the Supreme Court said in Tinker v. Des Moines, students don't shed their constitutional rights when they walk in the door. I don't have a problem with administrative punishment from the school (and it is warranted). I have a problem with criminal punishment from the state.
