12-year-old sues school district over Facebook profile search
Found on CNet News on Sunday, 11 March 2012
The girl--referred to in the court papers as R.S.--apparently felt that her hall monitor was mean to her and therefore described her as "mean" on her Facebook profile. She claims that no school equipment or property were used to make her postings.
The ACLU declared in a statement: "Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the school house gate. The Supreme Court ruled on that in the 1970s, yet schools like Minnewaska seem to have no regard for the standard."
The school has no right to spy around in a students online life. There is no demand for an orwellian society; except by those who love to spy and trample privacy.
