The First Amendment says that we all have a right to free speech. Unfortunately, our right for free speech is limited. Students may get the brunt of the limit, but adults suffer from it as well.
For students, as soon as you enter the school you give up certain rights. We give up some of our free speech, because we agree not to disrupt the class. We may not speak against any teachers, even if they are wrong. Instead we are forced to ask our parents to complain, and even then you may be ignored.
For adults they give up a smaller amount of free speech when they enter their workplace. The adults can say whatever they want, but if they do they're in danger of getting fired. You need money, so you need a job to get income. An adult gives up some of their freedom of speech when they decide their job is worth more.
I think the only real difference between the way students lose their freedoms and how adults lose their freedoms is that the children lose more of it, and it isn't the students' choice.
