Curious to people's thoughts on this question

If this is more appropriate for the Political Mall, it can be moved there, but I haven't visitied there and it kind of scares me

Several high school students at a local school here in Minnesota were suspended from school for a short time and those in athletics were forced to miss game or games for the following

Their faces appeared on Face Book at a party with beer glasses in their hands and the authorities at the school saw the photos and took action as it violated the no-alcohol policy agreement in place there

Fair or unfair?

Curious to what the Mall thinks

I am kind of torn on this myself

Of course, most all of us drank or knew someone who drank in high school

Are these students being singled out over others though who were at the same party doing the same thing?

Also does the school have the right to use this to determine if these students were actually drinking?

Should add some of the students singled out have denied that they were drinking,as crazy as that may seem.

Also alot of the students at the school had a walk out as they said the school had jumped to conclusions and had no right to use photos posted there to determine guilt or innocence

Anyone on the other side?

This was ruled unconstitutional here because there was no conclusive way to determine if the person ticketed was actually the driver

I guess what I'm saying is if the only proof the administration has is them holding a beer can or glass with what appears to be beer and the students deny it, Does the administration have enough proof to dole out suspensions from school and athletics?

I tend to agree with this side

Unless the person actually admits it or they have some other proof besides just the pictures
of them holding a glass or can

so someone can just walk into school piss drunk, yet no one can do anything b/c nobody of authority actually "saw" them drink?

administration is right, kids are wrong and stupid
