: EdjuristStudents, Speech & Politics, 2008 Edition
Well, its official, another political season is upon us and with it comes another round of student speech cases. Here is the first one I have seen this season. An 11 year old in Aurora, Colorado wore a shirt that said "Obama is a terrorist's best friend." Here is a picture and here is a video of the student defending himself. The student is claiming the school violated his First Amendment rights when they told him to remove it.
So, inflammatory? Disruptive? Seventy-nine percent of the 20,500 votes in the news story's poll of the issue thought it was not appropriate for the school to punish the student. Anyway, I guess we will find out. The father has promised to file a lawsuit (but I like the school's chances).

Update: Eugene Volokh disagrees with me on liking the school's chances.
