There are too many of them.

They can react in certain ways…punishing the student via suspension is not one of them.
If they think there’s a threat, they can alert the proper authorities.
This only becomes a difficult thing if we believe schools are baby sitters.

Until the courts declare otherwise in fact they do.
Agree. Not suspension. But the school should take action to prevent an altercation. Mediation possibly.
What about the parents who do parent their children?
They should change that…
They did. “Warranted” is the issue. The school doesn’t have boundaries. Just like all agents of the state.
This was real clear cut where I grew up
At school, or school activity, or within site or earshot of one watch your mouth.
And that’s that.

What about them? You think they support it?
Prior restraint? Why?
How can a school “prevent” an altercation?
Not at all. The school should never take the place of a parent.

That part I disagree with.
Stopped me from watching outside the fence of the football game and telling the principal what I thought of him.
I considered it a fair compromise
Or sue you. But hey, who’s watching?
Or exist to determine what constitutes and to construct “good” citizens.
Educated citizens I agree with. Not “good”.
Ok, or sue you. Doesn’t change anything.
So we generally know what was said in the social media by these students.
Would we accept being called into the local FBI office and sentenced to 10 days in county jail for this same posts? All white participants?
If a school is notified of a possible threat (fight) I think it would be in their best interest to prevent that altercation. If only pulling the parties in question out of class to discuss the issue or simply telling the kids to “not fight”, they should attempt to advert the altercation.
If it is off school grounds it is none of the school’s business.

What are you thoughts on threats of life.
Like a student posts on social media, off campus, that he will shot up his school tomorrow. Should he be suspended?
