Avery Doninger . . . a student at Lewis Mills High School in Burlington, Conn., called her school superintendent a "douche bag" on her personal blog in 2007 because she thought—erroneously—that the school was canceling its Battle of the Bands. When the school got wind of the insult, it barred her from being re-elected as class secretary as punishment . . . When the case came to Sotomayor's court on appeal, the blogger-hating judge joined with the majority in ruling that Doninger's comment had carried a "foreseeable risk of substantial disruption" and that she wasn't entitled to an injunction barring the school from punishing her.seriously, that's pretty awful. you should really be able to call anyone a douchebag on the internet, but calling a school administrator a douchebag is (i think) a fundamental american right.
also, this is crazy.
