This is one of those topics where it is much too hard to discuss. The result on an issue is completely based on the seriousness of an issue. For example, the result of an issue concerning drug and sex reference, will result in a much more serious punishment than someone wearing an anti-war bracelet to school. I believe that the punishment should be almost entirely up to the school. Based on the schools policies and beliefs, they should be able to come up with a solution.
It's very tough for me to make connections to the outside world because whether I like it or not, Deerfield is a bubble. I have more or less been "protected" from the outside world. Although Deerfield is a fairly liberal school, many policies are strict because of the reputation and expectation or the school. I believe that overall, schools are a little too strict. This is merely a guess based on the stories we have read in class. I'll be honest here and say that my conclusion was because the majority of our classes decisions resulted in the school being unconstitutional, not the student.
