The faculty of a public school have no right to restrict freedom of expression. Of all places, a government-run institution should be the one to most strictly defend our rights as defined in the Constitution.
These students chose their methods poorly, but what the teacher by pulling the chair out from under him was not discipline, it was assualt and should be prosecuted for it.
