Apparently, according to a Pennsylvania federal court, it’s within a student’s right of free speech to make fun of the principal on-line.
The court sided with students in two cases, but in one case by 14-0 margin and in the other only by 8-6, so clearly there is a line beyond which the 1st amendment won’t protect you. Now all we have to do is figure out where that line is.
I have to agree with the court here. While such antics might be in poor taste, it’s not up to the school to discipline for out of school hijinks as long as things don’t go too far. What’s “too far?” Well, that’s that line that exists somewhere. My advice is better to be safe than sorry.
