Reply #113: Actually, kids can be suspended for things done off school prop.

Happens all the time. Just had a kid at a basketball tourney sneak out, get drunk and come back to the motel. Suspended. Appropriately.

As for the blog thing - I dunno - didn't read the blog. But if you're a student, and you're libeling a teacher or administrator, yes, that can be cause for suspension. From what I read of the articles, the material fit the legal definition of libel - the material was defamatory on it's face, the person was identifiable to one or more persons, and the material was distributed to someone other than the offended party. Pretty clear cut, IMO.

Sometimes people just need to get the facts before they fly off the handle about sensational headlines.
