Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. That's different from "you can say whatever you want with no consequences." Parents can censor their children from dawn till dusk if they like. They can prosecute whatever doesn't meet their standards. The school operates as (can't remember the latin term) a surrogate parent when the kid is at school, and therefore can set any number of unreasonable, unconstitutional, unfair and mean rules that kids have to follow.
Having a closed campus was always the one that pissed me off. That, and the public-display-of-affection thing. Not that I ever had a girlfriend.
