he should have been suspended, yes- but not expelled


Suspended for a tweet he wrote in the privacy of his own home at 2:30am? 

It should be treated in the same way as if he said it while in school- just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it above the law

if he used school equipment to post it from home he should still be punished, but not expelled. If it was his own laptop on his own time, its for his parents to deal with, not the school.

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.

He should have been punished as even though he was at home, it was done with school property and they don't hand those laptops out so people have be profane on the net.

However, expulsion is way overboard for some foul language. Maybe if he was downloading tons of porn or illegal software or something.

I predict that in the next few days there will be a Change.org petition for this and the school/district will do some major back-peddling.

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.
