School and abuse of Social Networking?

[Ryan]

Ok so on my twitter account, I said "some" tweets expressing my personal opinion about a matter. A guy from Oklahoma who I have not idea who he is E-mailed my school pictures of my tweets. Now from what my athletic director told me is my principal is getting involved and contacting my parents. I have a spotless record with A's and B;s and fyi the tweets didn't single out one person in particular. Should my school be getting involved as my tweets came from my ip address within my property, and I feel they are taking my 1st Amendment rights away from me. Should I be worried at all and what should I do.
They just want to talk and bring my parents for something not school related at all and I feel they shouldn't get involved
Also, my school says even when I am not in school, "I am still representing it" And another is since my fathers in law enforcement is that if you get in trouble anywhere in town or the world for the matter and the school finds out you can be suspended on the matter the person ins't in school.
Do you think also that since my school has been on the news before about an incident that I could threaten to go to news to make them look even worse? Looking for a really informative answer. Will get 5*

The internet is public property. Twitter is the property of Twitter. If you don't want random people reading your tweets keep them friends only... Even then you're not protected though.


If you hold a sign in public you don't get to choose who reads it.

"that I could threaten to go to news to make them look even worse?" No. You could threaten whatever you'd like and get yourself into more trouble, but I suggest you reconsider.

I would also suggest that if you don't want your opinions getting you into trouble, you refrain from broadcasting them publicly worldwide at the speed of the light. This will also apply as an adult. Because having a First Amendment right to free speech only means that the governments of the US will not stop you from saying them. It does not mean freedom from the consequences of saying them.
