Students face expulsion over pic of airsoft guns

Posted by David Hardy · 30 October 2014 12:31 PM

Yet another case of academic BS. The pic was posted to his Facebook page, not on any school (electronic) property or site. The sanction is supposedly because he "caused disruption."

Instapundit is right: it's getting to where sending your kids to public school is a form of child abuse. In this case, I'd think the academic supervisors need training course in the First Amendment.

· "no tolerance" BS

If it weren't for the courts and judges mucking everything up, we would not be in the trouble we are in. If the judges had any honor, they would NEVER try to read more into the Constitution than the text specifically states. There are no implied powers and anyone with a modicum of intellect can study the granted powers to find the unassailable evidence of this statement. There is but one interpretation and that is direct textual using the proper rules of grammar. What we have is a bunch of folks with little dicks trying to use trick mirrors in order to prove the size of their manhood. The longer I study the more I realize the judicial branch has caused more damage to the Constitution than all the congresscritters and executives combined. We would be better off without the federal courts.

The expansions of federal power occur because of the courts.

I would guess they actually have had first amendment training, but really didn't (choose to) get the point. Seems they want to treat Tinker's disruption language as a magic wand they can wave to punish anything they don't like, instead of the restriction on their authority that it actually is. Hopefully the student and his family pursues this, and a judge gives them the bench-slapping they so richly deserve.

Yeah, schools all over the place are taking the stance that the student belongs to them and they have jurisdiction 24/7. They need to be slapped down hard with monetary penalties, very very big ones.

If those "monetary penalties" happened, your taxes would just be raised to pay them. Oh, and you would have paid all court costs and legal fees to get to that point also. School administrators don't care.....it's your money anyhow.

Dan:

you are right but I was thinking personal penalties, though obviously not sure if can do that. sigh
