I do agree with you 100% there, but by telling them they can't do what they did is pretty much the same thing as saying the 1st Amendment doesn't exist.
Believe me, I have had problems with the whole free speech thing at times, but a rule is a rule and a law is a law. We may not always like it, but as a country we're expected to live by it.

No no, don't get me wrong, they have every right to draw pictures or write stories to their hearts' content.

But at the same time, they should have the wherewithal to know when that sort of thing is not appropriate, and sitting in class while a teacher is trying to impart knowledge to you is <b>not</b> the time to being doing something counterproductive like that.

Yup, I couldn't agree more. And people wonder why kids are coming out of school with a less than average education. Oh yeah, let's blame the teachers.
