Court Finds For Student In Web FOS Case
An anonymous reader writes "A student who brought a suit against his middle school has been awarded a settlement after two years of legal battles. USAToday reports that the suit was brought after the school leveled harsh disciplinary measures against the student, based entirely on comments made to his website guestbook." From the article: "Grayson Barber, who handled the case on behalf of the ACLU, said the school presented no evidence that Dwyer's comments were threatening or disruptive of school activities. 'Our schools should encourage debate and political engagement rather than punishing students who provide a forum for free expression.'"
Wow. This got modded as Troll? I'm an american and I'd call it 'Insightful'
Do I get to sue the mods for modding me down? $100k would be fine.
On a more serious note: how is it that a couple of mods find my post insightful, others disagree and mod it overrated, and I get modded down past the starting point? It's not like it was troll or flamebait.
Look at their president for pete's sake - he's barely able to communicate on a 3 year old level.

Life is not for the lazy.
