You misunderstand.
A movie theatre is *private* property. The operator sells you a ticket. He can *eject* you for being noisy. If you don't like his rules, go someplace else. A public school is *public* property. Free speech rules apply. Every time. That's what the constitutional gurarentee is all about.
Here we go, again. The government creates a right out of thin air and the next thing you know, some minority class which just wants to be left alone must defer to a majority who wishes to "exercise" that right. In the case of public education, kids who don't want to be there are *forced* to sit quietly in a classroom for 6 hours (or else). Sorry, but there's NO WAY you can deny those kids a right to speak on their phones, especially if they're being considerate. If their inattention disturbs you, too bad.
The same goes for drivers.
Once again, BIG Government creates conflicts which only lawyers debating ad infinitum can resolve. You know, questions like:
"Should guns be allowed in public schools?", and
'Should Hotel Thayer be required to offer Kosher food?'
Resolutions of which would inevitably *reinforce* BIG Government. To use the classroom example, some Judge who knows *nothing* would issue a ruling which "balances" rights, but he'd NEVER sign an opinion which observes that the government has set up a situtation where conflicts are inevitable and if the government would just butt out of education the entire problem would go away.
