Still, punished from tweeting "fuck"? That's a bit extreme.

You kidding? Of course you should be punished for saying that over an open social network. It reflects badly on the school to have the students do that. If you didn't want to get in trouble, set yours tweets to private and don't use school equipment to do it.
|
But what's wrong with saying it? What's bad about it? You hear and see fuck everywhere you go, and no one is hurt.
|
It doesn't matter. In an school system, it is not allowed. Period. As a student, you're an extension of said system.
|
Shouldn't such rules be questioned? What do they accomplish and why were they made in the first place? I just find this funny after everyone yesterday was touting USA as a place where there's "true" freedom of speech. If this is freedom of speech, then how is censorship of speech?

Oh goodness. You have the right of speech, but also the ability to convey said speech in a way that suits your environment and situation. High school students are still minors and it is the schools job to enforce whatever rules are in place. I'm not saying the rule is absolute and things don't need to be re-evaluated, but this is just a no brainer. It's even worse based off his location. You should just know better.
