In Tinker, the Court ruled that in order to censor a student publication, administrators must prove that the material would create a “substantial disruption” of normal school activities or would invade the rights of others.
That seems pretty straightforward.

Hmm.

Harper was a sophomore in April 2004 when he wore the controversial T-shirt in response to a Gay-Straight Alliance club’s “Day of Silence” at his school. He was asked to remain in the office for the remainder of the school day, but was not suspended.
Well, that would surely cause substantial disruption.

Little fast to pull the trigger there, big guy. Do get real. Save your outrage for something meaningful (like whether the Sumpreme Court can overturn an election because they agree with the loser's politics), not whether a school has the right to tell someone to stop being a disruptive punk.
