Not if it disrupts the class they don't. The Supreme Court has placed heavier restrictions on Speech in a classroom setting.

Thinking something and shouting it out in a classroom are two different things.

Really ? If students in a helath class are asked about obesity and a student says it's unhealthy, wrong, anything less than 'obesity is part our magnificient quilt of diversity,' they'll be disciplined ?

Who says he shouted it? Knowing the facts and making things up are two different things also.

I was going to say the same thing. What if he was a outright racist and was vocal about it? Would that deserve disciplinary action?

Ask the survivors of Treblinka if obesity is a choice.
