What concerns me most about this case is that in more than 10 years
of court cases about these issues, schools still treat students as
if they don't have any rights. What message is that sending to our
youth?

I recall them doing the exact same thing with respect to dead-tree
publications by students in the 1960's, with the same results (courts
said that the Constitution applied to high school students).  The
lesson is that teachers and administrators fail to exhibit learning
behavior.
