1. SUSPENDED FOR CRITICIZING TEACHER, STUDENTS SUE
Two high school students in Snellville, Georgia, are taking their school
administrators to court. The students were suspended for criticizing one
of their teachers in an online posting. After an anonymous student
brought these postings to the attention of the school, administrators
decided they were violent threats and disciplined the students. With the
support of the American Civil Liberties Union, the students filed a
lawsuit charging school officials with violating their right to free
speech.

2. JUDGE SIDES WITH STUDENT'S POLITICAL WARDROBE CHOICE
A federal judge has ruled that Bretton Barber, a high school student in
Dearborn, Michigan, should not have been disciplined by school officials
for wearing a T-shirt calling President Bush an "International
Terrorist." "Students benefit when school officials provide an
environment where they can openly express their diverging viewpoints and
when they learn to tolerate the opinions of others," the judge declared.

3. "DEAR DIARY . . . TODAY I WAS EXPELLED"
Rachel Boim, a high school freshman in Atlanta, Georgia, was expelled
for writing a story about a student who dreams she kills a teacher.
Rachel wrote the story in her private journal, which was confiscated
when she passed it to a classmate. Rachel was taken from her classroom
the next day by school police and expelled. The expulsion was later
temporarily lifted, allowing Rachel to return to school while the school
board reviews her case.

4. Raid at High School Leads to Racial Divide, Not Drugs
GOOSE CREEK, S.C., Dec. 8 — It was partly a tip from an informant, partly the activity he saw on the Stratford High School surveillance cameras that led the school's principal to call in the police for an early morning drug sweep here on Nov. 5.
But it was also tape from the surveillance cameras, showing the police drawing guns on students, handcuffing them, making them kneel facing the wall and finding no drugs at all that has set off protests and created a racial divide.
