F for First Amendment

[Cyrus]

Assaulted from both the Left and the Right, that damn concept of free speech looks a bit wobbly on its legs and ready to fall.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Posters that depicted President Bush with a Groucho Marx-style mustache and cigar were ordered torn down at a high school after a student complained.
The posters advertised the students' play, "The Complete History of America (Abridged)," which satirizes U.S. history.

Principal Kenny Lee ordered 100 posters removed from the campus of El Camino Real High School in the Woodland Hills area last week on grounds that they promoted smoking and "endorsing one ideology over another."

Didn't the principal get the memo? Free speech is all about a person's right to publicly endorse one ideology over another.
