Yes, Aaron Saiger focused on schools, and speech rights in schools have been mentioned so far (halfway through the day) by several speakers.

I'm glad Abner is going to talk about Masterpiece Cakeshop, since Barnette spent a lot of time talking about weddings and catering.
But hopefully someone also talks about student speech issues, like school uniforms, black armbands, student newspapers, student speeches for class president, etc., since Barnette wasn't about religious freedom but was about free speech.
Believe it or not, if you ask students about student rights, they think about Tinker and not Masterpiece Cakeshop . . .
