Updated: June 2, 2008

Students have been suspended or expelled for posting harmful things about their school, classmates or teachers.

They argue that posts on their Facebook profiles or MySpace pages after hours are private and none of the school's business. Some schools, though, feel they have the right to step in if the comments concern them.
