In Reply to: Opinions about school suspension? - trose

If all the circumstances were the same, but it the teacher had posted a blog on a similarly accessible space and called her student a lazy, whining "B****" (for not wanting to do the homework). When it came to the attention of the school authorities do you think the teacher would be covered by this same first amendment license?
