This young lady, Avery Doninger, abused the system. She showed a total lack of breeding, upbringing and culture in doing what she did. She should be punished, so Avery, quit crying, the very system you tried to abuse has ruled, learn from it and move on.

Typical today's teenager. If she had been taught some respect at home, this wouldn't have happened. In my day a trip to the woodshed would have solved the problem.

if we are to be so critical of students standing up for their precieved rights, shouldn't we get as upset with the bullshit being leveled at us by the presidential primary candidates.
in the truman and eisenhower eras, speech and behavior as shown by our senate and congressional leaders would have been dealt with as treason.
get over this brat and her mother-deal with some real problems

Lol! To protect their sensitive little ears to name calling??? Are you for real?? Protect???
Saying you're going to bring a gun to school and shoot everyone is a physical threat. Being called a "douchebag" (sic) is just a harmless word.
Just like if in an newspaper editorial a writer called an official a corrupt weasel, he'd be in the clear. But if he said in the piece he was going to send his reporter to a meeting and shoot the official, he'd be in trouble. Because that's a threat. Get it? Probably not.
It's because of people exactly like you why we're seeing out Constitutional rights eroded (And of course idiot school administrators who don't have a grammar school level understanding of civics yet are being paid six figures to make sure the kids learn their lessons).
Maybe they should go to North Korea and head a school there. I'm sure they'd be glad to have them. They'd be much more happy.
Respect has to be earned, and even the kids know these administrators are jokes.

We are LUCKY to have Avery in our world! She would not be here without her mother! I am so glad that my sister decided to "breed" and that the "upbringing" and "culture" Avery has is ONLY due to her MOTHER (only mom). My niece is not crying......laughing I hope! Chew on this CHU, did you "breed"?.........if so, heartfelt wishes for any child you have!

when in truth it is more an issue dealing with behavior, dignity, maturity, and upbringing.

Let's assume for a momment that you are correct.
Who gets to determine what is the norm and what is not?
In the Lewis Mills handbook it says students can be disciplined for "smoking or drinking" off campus. That is not a judgement call it is state law.
In this case there is no state statue for offensive language.
If you notice even though this forum does censure certain words "douchebag" is not one of them.
( but if I type the word Bullshit it will be edited)
So who is the arbiter of these issues?
The administrators, the BOE, the parents, you?
Last time I looked this was a public high school not a finishing school.
Courses in Sciences and Humanities are taught in school not morals, and proper discipline thats the parents domain.

Finally, a setback for the ACLU (American Criminal Liberties Union). It's about time, as ACLU is taking this country right down the damn flusher.
