[Dfey-general-discuss] Young People + Free Speech?

[Tim Dobson]

It's quite US centric, but the issues raised are quite interesting...

"A federal judge rules that a student can seek attorney's fees against a 
high school principal who suspended her for a Facebook page she made at 
home. Good news, but how could the school have thought they had the 
right to punish her for that in the first place? Posing the question not 
rhetorically but seriously. What is the source of society's attitudes 
toward the free-speech rights of 17-year-olds?"
