A school letter says the posters violated the 'fighting words' doctrine.
A letter circulating on social media appears to show that a California high school has suspended a student over signs showing support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The letter from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego and dated February 27 affirmed that students have a right to free speech but asserted that the signs violated a policy against "conduct that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment," according to a picture.
'This is divisive language. Being American means tolerating protests.'
The letter said that the student was caught on video "posting flyers in the learning commons and in hallways that stated I Love ICE from Real Americans."
It went on to define the "fighting words" doctrine: "While a high bar, in a school context, words that are intentionally used to provoke a violent reaction or target a marginalized group's right to be on campus can be restricted to maintain safety."
