Now I’m no judge, but I see this as a first amendment violation. The student was expressing his disdain towards the kids in a jackass sort of way, but being a jackass isn’t and shouldn’t be against the law.
I would be inclined to agree. Schools themselves have wide latitude to police this type of thing, much wider than general criminal law could do. So I have no problem with the kid being suspended. The criminal charge on the other hand is another matter entirely. That seems like a clear 1st Amendment violation.
