    ok, I've posted this before but in case any of you haven't seen it:
    http://www.cornell.edu/video/?videoID=909&startSecs=0&endSecs=5031

    It's a series of 5 lectures by physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed which is an excellent summation of what is up in physics lately. And some very good explanations of what might be found at the large hadron collider.

    I've had it opened in a tab since you last linked it but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

    Did you miss this part:
    when three students wore the T-shirts, which also quoted a Biblical passage advocating death as a punishment for homosexual activity.

    Students have much less leeway when it comes to making threats.

    Tinker notwithstanding, most cases about free speech in schools go against the students.

    It depends. Is the speech obscene? Is it in a reasonable time and place? Is the school engaging in viewpoint discrimination? (e.g. they are allowed to shut down all clubs, but not to shut down one club), and etc.

    I don't think free speech rights in school are as strong as they should be, but they are most certainly there.

    So you can't see how a quote affirming that it is just to kill homosexuals, worn on a day designed to foster a safe environment for gay students, would substantially interfere with school discipline and the right of certain students to not be assailed with inflammatory religious rhetoric?

    I bet you dollars to donuts those flag shirts were entirely protected speech. Overt political symbols are, like, the paradigm case.

    School discipline does not mean "keeping people's feathers from getting ruffled." It means preventing literal brawls, allowing class to proceed, e.g. teachers silencing students who are trying to talk during lecture, and etc.

    It's a good thing, too, otherwise those tinker kids would have had to lose the armbands.

    They only have seasons nine through twelve and some of the episodes are missing in a few of them. I've finished those already! I'd rather see everything rather than only some and then not have anything to watch.

    You'd lose. The case for the biblical message being an implied threat is pretty easy. Without that passage, you'd be right. With it, those kids get laughed out of court.

    Actually it means enforcing a productive and smooth learning environment. Blocking offensive speech or actions falls under that provision, particularly when it creates a hostile environment for another group of students, in this case the gay students.
