After reading your various responses, I conclude my position may well be completely, absolutely, and totally wrong.

But I still believe someone is going to take it to the courts.

My hat's off to you, theDentist. You, sir or madam, are a true gentleman or lady of high standard. Thank you.

Quite possibly, but I don't think they'll end up with a leg to stand on. Then again, I have noticed in the past that the courts in this country sometimes act weirdly.

"But I still believe someone is going to take it to the courts."

Quite possibly so. Given the increasingly tyrannical tendency of the judiciary, the suit may even make some progress. This promoting of "freedom" above every other competing value is what results in the development of a tyrannical culture, as described in book 9 of Plato's Republic. Those who relentlessly pursue release from all constraints on their actions end up enslaved to their passions, and become the most miserable people on earth. If they move on to become successful politicians, they also make all their neighbors very miserable, e.g., people like Saddam Hussein.

Glad to see you "admit" you may be wrong publicly.

I salute you. :)

Now I can agree with that. All you need to file suit is a pen, paper, and filing fee.

I consider the following scenario to be pretty much inevitable:

1. School finds a MySpace page apparently belonging to one of their students and punishes the infraction.

2. Student claims (honestly or otherwise) to have no idea where the MySpace page came from, and demands proof that it wasn't J. Random Fugghead creating a MySpace page in his name.

3. School officials, who (as evidenced by the fact that they came up with such a boneheaded policy in the first place) can't tell the Internet from a hair net, are at a loss to respond.

4a. School officials back down, or

4b. Student rips school officials' lungs out through their noses in court.
