Students suspended for viewing a web site at home

TeWinkle Middle School in Costa Mesa California suspended 19 students for viewing another students web site they didn’t like.1 They say it threatened another student, but the threat they quoted isn’t really as threat. They also suspended the author of the web site too.

It’s really wrong to punish students for authoring a web site they didn’t like. It’s worse to suspend students for viewing the web site. The absolutley asinine part of the story is that these students did none of this while at school. This was entirely done while not at school.
