So, because schools do not have the funds to defend against frivolous lawsuits is a sufficient reason to alter what is allowed at school functions? I would think that society would take action against those bringing such suits rather than trying to placate those responsible. If one out of a hundred were offended by what might be said at an event, I would suggest they leave should that occur.
Seventeen year olds that are graduating HS are no longer "children". They are the young adults in which you strove to instill personal responsibility and sound decision making capabilities. I could not and would not be upset if one of mine stood up for what he/she believed to be right...
Blame the lawyers. No 17-year-old high school students for the most part are still under their parents supervision. Parents are still legally responsible for their children until they are 18 unless they get emancipated.
