[asa] What can be said in the classroom

Those who are the authority figures in the class need to exercise
restraint on such matters, especially in a pluralistic society."

Of course. But what about a student? Say a HS senior who REALLY REALLY
believes his position and is concerned that others be aware of it --
(avoid the truck coming down the road by getting off the road
scenerio).

His thinking is this: I see my friend playing in the road and a truck
approaching. If I do not warn him I am clearly committing (by
inaction) a sin. So I must call out.

Sticky situations. Putting out restrictions on whhat can or cannot be
said seems to make them more sticky. I don't have an answer -- the
link you provided is, however, helpful.
