I feel a bit on the fence about this issue. While I 100% supports Constitutional rights, I also don't believe his rights were dashed in this case. First of all, "public" schools are not "public" in quite the sense that one might think. They have the right AND the responsibility to supply an ample learning environment for all attending students. An 18-y/o senior at high school is (generally) not permitted to smoke on school grounds. Is this a violation of a right he is granted by other laws? I don't believe so. There is a Constitutional right to bear arms, that doesn't mean I support 12-y/o's going to class with pistols. *shrug*
