Bethel School Distrcit v. Fraser Audiobook

At a school assembly of approximately 600 high school students, Matthew Fraser made a speech nominating a fellow student for elective office. In his speech, Fraser used what some observers believed was a graphic sexual metaphor to promote the candidacy of his friend. As part of its disciplinary code, Bethel High School enforced a rule prohibiting conduct which “substantially interferes with the educational process… including the use of obscene, profane language or gestures.” Fraser was suspended from school for two days.
