The Constitution does not guarantee free speech without consequence and social media is not your friend.

Same thing I was thinking - along with “That was stupid.”

And yet - all the videos of rap music that student post, of a certain color, are not expelled?

I don’t get the purpose of the watermelon and fried chicken reference. What does that have to do with bad choices? The whole thing was ill-thought out.

I certainly don't condone the activities of these two morons. Can you explain to me how the school is within any legal rights by expelling these students for what they did while (a) not on school property and (b) not under the supervision of the school?

Seems to me if anyone really wanted these two idiots to suffer the consequences of their actions, they'd be allowed into school where those actions would have direct and severe consequences.

If they’ve completed their academic requirements with passing grades, I’d lawyer up. The school owes them a diploma.

A 15 second video on a Chinese platform? How is this news, who died?

Is there a rap soundtrack playing in the background? Most Tiktok videos use pre-existing music

And racist governor is still at the top in Virginia. He either posed in black face or in a Klansman’s costume and nobody gives a F these days

If this didn’t happen at school I don’t see where the school has authority to do this. We are turning into China, by having a social report card of sorts. What’s next — you cheered Trump so we will penalize you. I see it coming.

The school shouldn’t have anything to do with it. They aren’t the courts, just liberals. If they can be singled out than any thing should be able to be singled out. Just more liberals on a power trip like some of the Governors. Get some good lawyers and get a bunch of money from that school system.

Saw this mentioned on the Volokh Conspiracy website last night.

https://reason.com/2020/04/18/students-dont-shed-their-freedom-of-speech-at-the-schoolhouse-gate/

Stupidity by students does not give the school district grounds to violate the students off campus or on campus free speech rights.

The actions in question were off campus, outside of school hours, and did not disrupt a school activity. The school then has no authority to discipline the students.

If there is one year where not graduating is not a big deal, it’s this year. No celebrations. A mailed in diploma. Take the GED next week and get started on community college on line classes. If it were any other year, it’d matter. But this year? So what.

The Constitution doesn't “guarantee” anything. It's simply a document declaring a plan.

Citizens willing to enforce the plan, by force of arms if necessary, is the “guarantee.”

Yup, for once I totally agree the two idiots should be expelled.
And, unlike most of the crap that we read about, these two indeed WERE racists.

I was taught, at my Mother’s knees, to neither give nor take offense. Giving offense darkens our witness, if done purposefully, 1 Corinthians 10:32 comes to mind, but taking offense demonstrates immaturity in Christ, and is a breach of Love Thy neighbor as thyself.

Neither give nor take offense, these kids need a spanking

Yes it does.

Our government can NOT punish us for what we say or express.

And what did this school just do?
