My take is if they didn't use school resources it's none of the school's business.

Not sure who had the list E Rocc.. The state postings are about nil. Not sure if all are gone elsewhere, indifferent etc.

i hadn’t heard of this story. I wonder what right they have (the school) to do this. Obviously the school can make life very difficult for the young men along the way should they NOT voluntarily pull the material, and maybe that is what happened.

Thanks for the ping & I suspect we will see a lawsuit against the school system by one or maybe group of the parents.

No, teenagers shouldn't have the right to free speech. That's a parenting thing, though, and unless they mis-used school resources, the school should stay the heck out.

“so do high school kids not have a right to free speech?”

They are being acculturated to continue imagining that they have rights, so that they will be motivated to fight when the state demands their military services, but to behave according to the state-appointed authority’s definition of the boundaries on their “rights”. That’s what these temples of the state religion are designed to do. Didn’t you get the memo?

I, for one, certainly got the memo!

Thanks for your reminder.

Not sure if it’s of interest to your list but I certainly think it’s - at least on the surface - an example of what’s wrong.

Of course if they made videos of themselves at the shooting range they’d have been expelled and charged with felonies so at least the district is keeping this in perspective.

“My take is if they didn’t use school resources it’s none of the school’s business.”

You’ve got to remember that the school system in this country is in the hands of rabid, humorless Marxists.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have vanquished every teacher - we have broken every rule
We plan to kill the principal at quarter after two
The school is burning down!

Glory, glory, hallelujah
My teacher hit me with a ruler
Met her up in heaven, back in 1327
And she ain’t my teacher no more “NO MORE”!

Principal Gary Geis said the videos poked fun at teachers and classmates

So why is this news. Kids have been doing this sort of stuff for centuries and civilization has survived it.

Some people have too much time on their hands.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles. This is becoming a fairly high volume list.

Unless the videos were threatening in some way, this indeed is none of the school’s business.

that brought back some memories. I guess today the kids would get thrown in jail for singing that old song.

You know, its’ stuff like this - Bullies picking on the weaker ones, that lead to the black trench coated EMO’s to come to school and shoot the place up.

My guess is that the same people here crying free speech would be the same ones to chastise the school for NOT doing anything if one of the targets shot the school up, and this video was later revealed.

But that’s not what happened. You compare this to something completely unrelated and very much more serious and claim that’s an argument?? Maybe an empty one, without merit.

If the videos used none of the schools resources, contained no pictures or video taken inside the school, used no pictures of students not directing involved with making the video, contained no comments that could be considered libelous or slanderous, then the school was wrong. If even one of these things occurred, the school was in the right.

Since the article is vague on all of these subjects, no one can really tell if the right thing was done or not
