Welcome to IWETHEY!

New It is all about intent
I don't agree with the logic that censoring speech about drug use is safe guarding the students. Nor would I agree with allowing the censorship even if I felt it would actually do anything to dissuade drug use.

My point is about the who gets to judge the intent of the speech and who doesn't. The Supreme Court is allowing schools to use their judgment about speech supporting drug use because they generally agree with the schools judgments. But, they decided not to allow the FEC to judge the intent of the speech because in my opinion because they think they will agree with the FEC.

If the web sites you mention ran ads similar to the Wisconsin Right to Life ad, they should be banned also.

The first amendment is for an individual's speech. Speech from groups can be regulated. It is our job to agree on what is reasonable regulation.

New speech from non commercial groups CANNOT be regulated
go pass a law that the green party cannot say anything bad about the EPA. See how long that lasts
thanx,

New Let me be clearer
If any other group, even a liberal group, ran an ad similar to one the Wisconsin group ran than their commercials should have been banned also.

New I have not seen the ad, what in detail was the content
