First Amendment Rights of Adults vs. Those of Children

“I’m not gonna really concern myself with what other countries are doing, but here in the U.S. we do have a tradition where children, for instance, who are pupils at school do not have the same First Amendment rights if they put out a school newspaper, for instance, as opposed to people who are adults. The school administration has the right to intervene and make sure that the material they publish as pupils is appropriate for a student publication. People who are under 18 currently under U.S. law do have more limitations on their First Amendment rights, for instance, in a public school setting than adults do. And I don’t really see a need to revisit that at this time.
 
 
Well I’m not really very familiar with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. That’s a document that apparently is used either by the United Nations or other countries in the world and is not really binding on us as a country. I’m more concerned with what the state of our American system of laws is and I’m not gonna really be too eager to go and have other countries tell us how we should conduct our laws. I would rather have a debate here in the U.S. and come up with our way of doing things and not really pay too much attention, at least I don’t feel we need to, to what other countries do. So I’m not familiar with this Universal Declaration of Human Rights and frankly it’s not a part of discussion at this point in time.”
