    My perspective on this case is that the student was still a representative of his school at the football game and the principal had the right to take action against his acts. Taylor Murphy claimed that, while on school property, the event was outside of the school day and he was acting as a free and public individual. In the case Morse v. Frederick, he may have no been “in school” but he was on school grounds and Morse v. Frederick states “pupils who participate in approved social events and class trips are subject to the same student conduct rules that apply during the regular school program.” Even if Murphy didn’t realize it, he associated himself with the school by wearing his school varsity jacket, so it was clear to the public that

    A public school should be an environment where anyone in attendance should feel safe and comfortable. In source 1, The NFA Zero Tolerance policy states “The goal in establishing NFA’s Zero Tolerance policy is to provide a safe and orderly campus for all of our students, faculty, and staff.” Source 1 later states that students will receive a 10-day out-of-school- suspension, and possibly result in expulsion for any of the following reasons: Possession of weapon(s), possession of drugs/alcohol, extortion, hate crimes, and assault. Luke’s shirt and tattoo is clearly showing prejudice against minorities and jews, and should be seen as a hate crime. The shirt also goes against NFA’s dress code which can be seen in source 1.

    Brian Wilson and Laura Finley discuss how they believe instead keeping violence out of schools the laws “prevent student learning” (Wilson and Finley). Regarding the purpose of the policies, Wilson and Finley state, “zero-tolerance policies are, in effect, a means of channeling young people into the juvenile justice system.” Some of the policies have nothing to do with the safety of the school such as being a distraction, and disobeying dress code.
