From charismamag.com -The suit alleges the Roswell Independent School District retaliated against a Christian group called Relentless, punishing and suspending its members for buying and giving fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts with Bible verses to each of their teachers. The students went to great lengths to share the Word of God. The closest Krispy Kreme shop was in Texas. Some members of the group drove almost six hours round trip, stayed overnight, got up at 3 a.m., filled their car's back seat with fresh doughnuts and got back to school on time to deliver the doughnuts. When they handed out the doughnuts, a Scripture verse was included. One student was immediately sent home and two others were forced to spend a Saturday morning sitting alone in the classroom for four hours as a punishment.  More News New Mexico

Whomever is/was reponsible for suspending the students should be stripped of their citizenship and deported. They are too ignorant to be members of our society.

Ignorance is rampant among the People BECAUSE ignorance is rampant among those whom the People have trusted to educate.

Regardless of supreme court precedent, the First Amendment DOES NOT APPLY TO STATES. That paradigm never crossed the minds of those who wrote the Bill of Rights. To the contrary, Madison himself stated that legislation that appeared in the 3rd amendment could not bind the states in matters of religion, the press, etc. The discussions at the writing and passage in Congress of the 12 amendments offered by the first Congress included discussions that States were bound only by state constitutions with regard to religion, etc. This is why the original 3rd, now the 1st, Amendment began with Congress shall make no law....

But People, especially certain classes of them, are ignorant. And as it has always been there are those who would impose their will upon others whether through force of arms, deceit, or what have you. The judges and the courts are wrong.

Beyond the wrongs of the court, the CONSTITUTION IS NOT FOR INDIVIDUALS. It is We the People's set of rules for the government. It it the government who is restricted. We the People as sovereigns retain all power we do not give to the government. Reread the first amendment carefully. It says the GOVERNMENT, in the form of the Congress, shall make no law. Notice it says nothing about individuals exercising their God-given Rights. If you don't like what someone else does, exercise your right to shut up and walk away. Put your fingers in yours ears if you don't wish to hear the message. Don't eat the donuts if you don't want to participate. But get the H out of the way when others, whose Rights are EQUAL to yours, wish to exercise those Rights.
