The Star Tribune reported that a 19-year-old college student will continue with her suit against her former high school principal. Katherine Evans is now a sophomore in college , but was suspended from school as a senior for posting upsetting comments about her English teacher on the social network Facebook. Evans hopes to have her expulsion removed from her record for the sake of her future.
The former high school principal wanted to have the case dismissed, but the presiding judge dismissed his petition. Evan's and her lawyer are hoping that this will be the first step in gaining more freedom on the Internet and to keep the First Amendment an important factor in American's life.
Evans' postings claimed that she strongly disliked her high school English teacher and that she was being unfair to her with assignments. Fellow students posted comments on Evan's postings. Evans removed the postings a few days after she original posted them, but was no suspended until a few months later.
