“Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of the conditions of men,—the balance wheel of the social machinery.... I mean that it gives each man the independence and the means by which he can resist the selfishness of other men. It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich: it prevents being poor.”

Student free speech question if you are so inclined.Dress code prohibits obscenities. Student has a shirt that expresses approbation of a certain political figure, but no swears. Same piece of clothing has the acronym "FPF" where the initials clearly refer to the political figure. Tinker, Morse, and Mahanoy seem to say it can be prohibited. Care to offer an opinion?
