From USA Today: Posters that depict President Bush with a Groucho Marx-style mustache and cigar were ordered torn down at a high school after a student complained. The principal ordered 100 posters removed on grounds that they promoted smoking and "endorsing one ideology over another. Students who created the posters to advertise a satirical play, countered with new posters with a First Amendment message (free expression for all - unless you're in high school). Bush's head was replaced by white space. Jes Shah, a junior in the school drama program learned something: "It taught us that the First Amendment certainly does not guarantee the right of free speech".
