Three teenagers in the Cincinnati school system posted an entry on Facebook with the face and last name of a teacher and referred to him as a member of a notorious national association that advocates sex between men and boys.
The students were suspended for 90 days. Now they are suing school officials over the length of the suspensions.
"They're not saying it's true, they're saying it's just parody," the students' attorney, Marc Mezibov, said Friday.
Free speech is coming into play.
Geez! If the Facebook entry is not true, I hope the teacher is suing the students and their families for something. I can't imagine why the students' parents think the students should not receive a strong punishment. They are lucky they are getting a criminal record, IMO.

I'm guessing that neither the children nor their attorney have the slightest idea what parody is. And hollering parody does not reduce the consequences this could easily have had for the teacher. I want personal responsibility back!
