H.S. Student Could Be Expelled Over Blog

The Plainfield School District 202 of Illinois has suspended a 17 year old for anti school posts on his blog. They are also trying to get him expelled for his posts.

(Chicago Tribune)"They are trying to terminate his educational rights," he said. "Neither the parents, student or I believe this warrants expulsion. This seems pretty aggressive for the kind of [posting] we are talking about here."

The student was suspended from school earlier this month after posting a letter online criticizing the discipline of another student, Buck said. He also posted a letter to school administrators saying his opinions were being stifled and that he was being bullied into removing information on his blog.
