I figured I'd leave my thoughts on this as well...

I am in between on it... Yes, the kids should be punished what they said and did was wrong... I disagree with the length of the suspension, it should be much shorter. Mostly because there was no threatening comments made, just insults.

WHILE if the students were having a conversation amongst themselves, none of this would have ever happened. If they go together at somebodys house, and talked about this, nobody would have proof it ever happened... They could've expressed their opinions clearly, and freely.

So in conclusion... The only reason I think what they did was wrong, was because of the environment the things were said. They put it on the internet for everybody in the world to read, which was wrong, but, if they would have got a get together and expressed their thoughts, I would have absoleutely no problem with that.


Off topic: It's like a local school around here, the teachers stumbled across a facebook profile that showed people drinking that were students. They did not get the police involved, but they were all suspended from extra curriculars and athletics because of an athletic code of conduct violoation. (which is basically a contract prohibiting smoking, drinking, and agreeing to rules the school sets for eligibility)... Is it right for the athletes to get suspended based on pictures?... i don't think so, but, apparently the school board did.
