Being a PUBLIC institution...  it seems unlikely they can limit our
Constitutionally recognized freedoms in the Bill of RIGHTS for being
there...

There may be rules to follow but the school hase the Constituttion it
must follow, being it is a government entity.

They should teach this stuff in the classrooms rather than teaching
FASCISM in the Principals office.

It is tantamount to banning those kids from accessing and posting to the
internet out on a street which is also a "PUBLIC" place.  Those kids are
NOT in prison it's a public school. You can't force people into a school
with laws and then use that captivity to deny them their civil RIGHTS or
other Constitutional RIGHTS.

Either they have a RIGHT to NOT be there without penalty of law or they
have a RIGHT to exercise all their RIGHTS as U.S. Citizens. The
Government can't deny them the choice of which they want to do, enter
and become inmates denied their LIBERTY or stay outside and have their
LIBERTY.
