So you are in favor of limiting first amendment because how he said it?

One of his friends on snap chat was concerned and called the school.

They had to be cautious.


He hadn't seen his Mom for a bit......so maybe she doesn't know why someone who her son knows was concerned.

It's fine to be cautious and check. But, it isn't fine to suspend him after the fact.

This is true, however once the context was known, the school should have immediately stopped its investigation of the student and allowed him back in school.

He should be suspended for a few days for his use of the term "finna"

Also, this was in Colorado. Seems like there was a school shooting there in the 90s. Oh, and that movie theater shooting not to mention Sol Pais. Maybe they have a reason to err of the side of caution

If a student posts photos of guns with a caption stating they're going to be used - you don't think a school should tell the kid to stay home while they investigate what it's about?

This is Okay, but that due process-less red flag system won’t be abused at all, we’re told
