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?

USA freedom of speech is why this kid will win some major victory and be allowed back to his school.

Having said freedoms doesn't mean people/orgs won't attempt to remove them. All it means is you have legal recourse to demand retribution.

As for the rule of being profain at school, yeah those rules should exist, just as they exist in the workplace and normal society. People should be smart enough to be respectful to others.

If I were this kids parent I'd be getting a lawyer to make sure my kid goes back to his rightful school to finish as well as covering all court costs and then punishing him myself for being a total fucking idiot on twitter and embarrasing my family name. fuck.

Yes, but saying fuck isn't being disrespectful of others. Saying "fuck you" would however. These rules don't apply in my normal society. I say fuck all the time with no backlash

Yes, but you are an adult. However, there would be reprecussion if your audience was children and then you repeated what he tweeted.
