The ACLU filed suit yesterday against a Minnesota School District for violating one of its student's civil rights. So how were this 12-year-old girl's rights violated? It all started with a Facebook post she made complaining that she hated a hall monitor who was mean to her. The school somehow found out and said that the post amounted to bullying and gave the girl detention and forced her to apologize.
Well, after she got busted for posting something on Facebook, naturally she went back to Facebook to complain that someone turned her in. And she used foul language in her complaint! Tsk. Tsk. Not too bright young lady, even if it is technically your legal right to do so. After this incident was discovered she was given an in-school suspension and was no longer allowed to attend a school field trip.
Then this stuff gets real bad. After a mother of another student complained that her son and the girl were talking about "innapropiate material" on FB chat, the school forced the girl to hand over her Facebook and account info and searched her chat records with a Sheriff present. WTF?? This school is out of control in my view.
Now none of the Facebook posts were made on a school computer and the girl's parents were never informed that the school was searching the girl's chat records. The ACLU claims that not only were the girl's 1st amendment rights violated, but also her fourth amendment rights, which protect you from unreasonable search and seizure. The girl's mother claims that her daughter has been humiliated and is falling behind on her school work after the incident. The most outrageous part of the story is that a 12-yr-old girl was on Facebook , when their user policy clearly states that you must be 13! How did this happen?? HOW?? Clearly this Minnesota town is full of all kinds of crazy people. Only a 12-yr-old one is about to get PAID.

1. She's too young to even be on Facebook.
2. I don't think anyone in the US would still have school in July.

@Boe But you do get SOME rights, and laws aside, what the school did was a overreacting and controlling. |

What the school did was wrong, but all the US schools wouldn't be open in July. They would've been out by then.

| If you have an issue with 'cyberbullying'; you should kill yourself. |

Year round schools, as well.
I don't really think about year rounds or summer school since both have been eliminated from our district.

It's funny how you expect her to be 13 to use a website

That girl is a badass for signing up for a 13+ site when she's 12.
