Girls expelled for Facebook 'Hit List'

  The American Civil Liberties Union is fighting the expulsion of three Northwest Indiana girls for a Facebook conversation resembling a school "hit list." The ACLU filed a lawsuit against Griffith Public Schools saying the conversation was "clearly meant to be humorous, as evidenced by their repeated use of emoticons. The organization said the expulsion violated the eight graders' freedom of speech.
Threatening someones life is a very bad joke. and just because we have a freedom of speech doesn't mean there aren't any consequences for what we say.
