PA Appeals Court Weighs Punishment For Students' Online Parodies

crimeandpunishment writes "Is it a student's right to free speech or a school's right to discipline? A US Appeals Court in Pennsylvania heard arguments Thursday on a case that could have far-reaching implications. The issue involves the suspension of two students, from two different Pennsylvania school districts, for web postings they made on their home computers. The students posted parody profiles on MySpace that mocked their principals. The American Civil Liberties Union argued on behalf of the students."

    Muslims and their supporters don't count as Americans due to their superstition being both the most toxic belief system in the history of mankind and the inherent commitment of all believers to impose Islamic systems whenever they are able to do so.

    We are in a cultural war with Islam, so if anyone else is thoughtful enough to kill Muslims (bonus for other Muslims doing it, BTW they are in the lead so far) then bravo.

    The convoys purpose was to break the blockade thus opening the door for arms and munition transport. They got what they asked for.
