Suspended from school over Twitter post?

[Jess]

Yeah he can be suspended and mos likely he should be suspended. Yes he has freedom of speech but he cant post words in a public forum that could cause harm or incite a violent situation at the school he is attending. Saying rude and pig headed things in a public place is protected but when you are in school (public or private) you have to follow the rules and moral laws of that school. He WAS disrupting the school day seeing as how anyone can read his post and become offended. HE could have started a fight and a conflict that wouldn't die down for a long time. HE knew what he was saying was racist.Tempers run high when race gets involved and he did this with the intention of inciting a negative reaction.

Short easy answer. Your friend should have gotten suspended and he should have to pay the price for being so stupid and next time actually read the student handbook because every Public school in the US has ethical codes of conduct that say you cant just post racist remarks on a social network and get away with it. Tell him to smarten up and keep his stupid comments to himself next time
