Does the 1st amendment protect my personal privacy?

[XC Rules]

I got in trouble with the principal at my school for posting something on my Facebook, and I don't know how he was able to see my profile without my permission. Well my Facebook is none of his business and that was invasion of my personal privacy. Did the principal violate my first (1st) amendment rights? Can I sue for this?
After I graduate high school can I sue them?

one your a minor child and as such you have no rights and cant sue

If the "something" in question was a photo of the school, or article of it etc then yes he may have some rights to what you posted in regards. However, if its anything else tell your principle to GET BENT. I hate when teachers do that. I was suspended in grade 9 for posting something and i b!tched constantly. it didnt get me unsuspended but i made myself heard.

How is anything that you posted on facebook personal or private? You should have paid more attention in government class. You're one confused little feller.

You have no first amendment privacy rights. No one has.
The US Constitution has no guarantee of privacy. In fact the word is never mentioned.
If you post something on Facebook it becomes public property and anyone can see it. I doubt, however, that the principal has any right to take actiuon for something which you did on Facebook unless you made overt threats or slandered someone.
It is not good practice to post anything which you want to keep private, on any social networking site.

The first amendment protects only the right of a person, including minors, to engage in POLITICAL speech. There is no right to privacy...for anyone in the US Constitution. The IDEA of a right to privacy is something the US Supreme Court dreamed up to assuage everyone in Roe v Wade.

The 1st Amendment has nothing to do with privacy. It provides for freedom of religion, speech, the press, peaceful assembly, and to petition the government. The 4th Amendment is the closest thing to a "right to privacy," though it only protects against unreasonable search and seizure by the government. Unless you could show that the principal directly gained access to your Facebook, it wouldn't apply. It could have been one of the people on your friends list told him about it. Additionally, if you used a school computer or school network to access Facebook, then they likely would have a right to monitor that information. Also bear in mind that your Facebook profile is not your own personal private material . . . even if you set it to "private" you're posting that information on someone else's equipment/property (i.e., Facebook owns the servers & services) designed to be accessible to the general public. This means that nothing on there is truly considered "private."

No he did not. Facebook is a public forum and open to everyone. Once you post on there it is no longer private because you made it public. And honestly if you do not want him to know your business then keep it off of facebook.
