    Actually from what I've read it's a case of less than astutue public officals being repeatedly embarassed for wasting and squandering public funds and failing to take advantage or having knowlege of federal grant money. take a look at the Blog and see if you agree. would you think this is libelous?

    I wonder what the school Principals and teachers think about how much money they are spending to silence us. Especially when they promised each teacher a $250 stipend for their classroom and then took the amounts out of the teachers' budgets, rather than out of the "big" budget. Where exactly is the Board and the Administration's priority?

    Why don't you RTFA, you dumbass luser?

    Feldman said Tetley's Web site - www.gisdwatch.com - contained the most "personal, libelous invective directed toward a school administrator" he's seen in his 31-year career.

    Just because its a blog doesnt it make any less real than posting it as leaflets on lampposts.

    If the accusations are true, than they will lose.
    If they arent, they have every right to defend themselves against this libel.

    That's not entirely true. There's a defence to libel called "honest opinion", which basically means that the statements made are clearly intended to be interpreted as opinion rather than absolute statements of fact. This does, in fact, mean that blogs (a medium that is commonly used for distributing opinions) are harder to show libel in than pamphlets (which are usually intended to be interpreted as fact).

    This blog, with article titles like "FASCIST STATE RISING!!" and "More Work for Erik the Destroyer!" is clearly dealing in opinion.

    IANAL; this is not legal advice; etc.
