Consider the following situation: A high school student gives a speech to the entire student body. In the speech, he uses vulgar language and insults. The principal cuts the speech short and suspends the student for a week. The student files a case against the school, claiming that his First Amendment rights had been violated.

In your opinion, were the student’s First Amendment rights violated? If so, how so? If not, why not? Write a paragraph explaining your position. Justify your response with evidence from this tutorial and/or outside research.
