I'm not sure if all states do this, but California practices in loco parentis, which means the school acts as your parent/guardian from the time you leave the house to the time you get home. They are responsible for things you do even off the campus grounds.I'm not sure how that extends to tweets/facebook/etc. Technology always progresses faster than the law.
For example if I tweeted something that the school didn't like they could suspend me.
When you release something, like an opinion on twitter for example under your name or image then you are expressing yourself just as the same as in real life. They might have to suspend you in case that you voice your concerns in an nonconstructive manner that does not represent the school's not only beliefs, but education that you should have.Quote from: Septy on November 11, 2014, 04:17:19 PMFor example if I tweeted something that the school didn't like they could suspend me.
In order for the State in the person of school officials to justify prohibition of a particular expression of opinion, it must be able to show that its action was caused by something more than a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint.
a school is essentially a business.
