A California high school student has been suspended for making rude remarks about a teacher on Facebook.The ACLU is claiming that Tobolski’s right to free speech has been violated and says that the school broke both federal and state laws.
The ACLU stated in a letter to the school that Donny’s Facebook post was “protected under the state and federal constitutions as well as the Education Code.”
The posting came after a biology teacher assigned Tobolski what he considered a large amount of homework. In response, the young man posted that the teacher was a “fat ass who should stop eating fast food, and is a douche bag.” The posting was done from home and not during school hours.
Do you think a school has a right to discipline a student for rude remarks on Facebook, if those comments don’t include physical threats or violence?
