Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the school’s discipline of student for instant messages created on his home computer containing threats was proper under Tinker
• emphasizing that “student creativity and . . . ability . . . can[not] flourish if vio- lence threatens the school environment”
• upholding the actions of school officials and police officers where-unlike here-these factors indicated that the threat was credible without any further investigation
• noting that “the [Supreme] Court has not yet had occasion to deal with a school case involving student threats or one requiring it to decide what degree of foreseeability or disruption to the school environment must be shown to limit speech by students”
• authorizing a federal district court with federal question jurisdiction to remand remaining state-law claims after granting summary judgment on all federal claims
• noting school district's \obligation to ensure the safety of its students and reasonable concerns created by shooting deaths at other schools such as [those in] Columbine and the Red Lake [Indian] Reservation\
