Abstract
This article addresses the special considerations that justify a public school's regulation of student speech on campus, but argues that schools should not discipline students for off-campus internet speech because such an extension of the school's regulatory arm violates first amendment rights. The article focuses particularly on the Third Circuit's en banc opinions as a backdrop for the discussion.
Keywords: school speech, first amendment, internet speech, off-campus speech
