Imagine that a public high school student posts an editorial cartoon criticizing efforts to expand the Supreme Court on his Facebook page.

They tell the student that because of his post, his classmates are debating court‐​packing when they should be studying algebra. The administrators give the student an ultimatum: Delete the Facebook post or face school discipline.
