Lessons learned in school in the 21st century: It's okay to make fun of the president, but heaven help you if anyone thinks your free speech is supportive of smoking.
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. Theater students, who had created the posters to advertise a satirical play, countered with new posters with a First Amendment message.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."
"That's our take on the student speech and conduct," Lee said.
Does this mean that Marx Brothers' movies are banned as well?
