From the Indy Star
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana has sued a Northern Indiana school that suspended three Grade 8 girls for Facebook posts violating bullying, harassment and intimidation rules.
"This
conversation spanned numerous subjects, from the pain of cutting
oneself while shaving to the girls' friendship, before turning to a
discussion of which of their classmates they would kill if they had the
chance," the suit continued. "At all times, the conversation was purely
in jest and could not have been interpreted seriously, as is evidenced
by the girls' repeated use of 'emoticons,' by their use of abbreviations
indicative of humor, and by the nature and tone of the conversation.
"The girls were simply engaged in teenage banter."
