They accused the Albany Unified School District for unjustly suspending them because the offensive posts they made were on a PRIVATE ACCOUNT that had no connection with any school activity or school account. The posts were found on another suspended student's account that included NOOSES drawn around the necks of a black student AND their school coach. Alan Beck, their attorney said "This to me is no different than having a private drawing book and making some offensive drawings at home and sharing them with a couple of friends. Does the school have the right to ruin my life over something i was doing at my house" Legal experts said the Trump administration will be dragged into this as their lawsuit will present federal courts with another opportunity to decide how schools and regulate student free speech It raises the question on whether "likes" on social media are treated as original osts as likes can be ambiguous which could be saying "This is funny, i agree with it. Or i don't agree with it but i want to stand up for your right to say it" said Eugene Volkh who teaches free speech. That specific picture they were bumped out of school for was because it also included a picture of a black student at their school next to an Ape and jokes about their weight and looks. Albany is an affluent community next to Berkeley which prides itself in liberalism and Political Correctness Valerie Williams, the superintendent said they pride themselves in being an inclusive and respectful environment as they will take appropriate action The original student who posted that image to his friends is also facing EXPULSION as his name is not being released Students said that account was targeting "only black people" as the suspended students were outed by peers and were "publicly shamed" where they were cursed and jeered at. A protest quickly formed after the incident was revealed back in late march where students and the community were outraged over the posts The 4 want unspecified damages and a court order to remove their suspensions as one of them said it was their RIGHT to say whatever he wanted out of school time.. Do you think these 4 brats were rightfully suspended? Protest - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/1/2017/05/05/09/wire-517127-1493972574-962_634x443.jpg

Yeah, I don't know if the school should suspend them for that. They're idiots, but I don't think a like warrants a suspension.
The kid that made the drawing? Absolutely should be suspended, at LEAST. Though I'd almost consider kicking the kid out, it's not fair to make the victim have to live with that guy around. But a like is too ambiguous, I've liked photos without even really looking at them. Are they stupid and need some minor punishment/talking to? Absolutely. but suspension is too much.

if people can lose their jobs, then they can be kicked out of school. Good riddance I don't like this comparison because you're forced to go to school by the government. Unless you're drafted into the military or at jury duty, the government never actually forces you to go work somewhere.

They're pieces of s*** but the school doesn't have grounds to suspend them over that. Why don't they? The school has an authority to act in case a student is caught making threatening gestures or writing harmful material against another student. What's the difference between that and liking a post that shows a student with a noose around his neck? It's also a threatening image towards another student,why should the school steer clear when his safety is being threatened?

Good riddance you're not forced to go to school just like you're not forced to go to work. you can go and drop right out of school whenever you want as(legally at 16), just like you can stop working and die in a hole somewhere because you can't afford anything. If they're old enough to do stupid s*** like this then they're old enough to know the consequences

Fair, next. It was directed at a student in their school, they had every right to be suspended for it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either stupid or racist.

People saying that it's fair are responding with emotion instead of logic. They're pieces of s*** but they absolutely don't have the right to suspend them for liking the image. The kid who created the image can be punished because that would be considered a threat, and depending what the comments said could also be grounds for punishment. If a student only 'liked' an image though they're going to win that case.

I personally don't feel as if the school has the right to weigh in on their personal lives, but then again, the nature of the internet really blurs the line of what's personal & what's public. Though really, we all know that children don't possess any rights socially, beyond protections from abuse; it's why we can impose so many restrictions on their actions that would never fly against most other social demographics.
