This sh*t is getting ridiculous!

Do you remember high school? I do. Do you remember your teachers? I do. Did you ever have one you really, REALLY, didn't like? I did. So here's my rant:
A 13 year old girl in New Hampshire was suspended from school for 5 days for posting on Facebook that she wished 'Osama Bin Laden had killed her math teacher'.... Ok point #1, she is 13, pretty sure this was an outburst of teenage angst. #2, Pretty sure she doesn't have ties to any terrorist groups, #3, isn't this generalized statement at least mumbled once by every high school kid who has a teacher with a pension for POP quizzes or essay answer tests? ...in my school we had a teacher we all swore followed us from grade to grade to grade and we were convinced someone had dropped a house on her sister....I'm still not completely convinced she didn't have it out for us....
Yes, what she did was wrong. Yes, its not nice to say mean things about people. Yes, some form of consequence should have been attached to this. However, shouldn't that have been the parents choice. This was an incident that took place at home. It wasn't posted via a school computer. Wasn't denying her an education for an entire week so she would get behind on her classes a little silly? Isn't there at least some semblance of freedom of speech and opinion left on this planet? Sound off!!!!
