A federal appellate court has ruled that a school cannot expel a student for creating and posting a violent rap song without showing a substantial disruption or a “true threat.” The failure of the school to present any evidence that the song ever reached campus or otherwise caused the intended “victims” in the song to become fearful for their safety defeated the school’s attempts to justify the expulsion of the student. Read about this case now to ensure your district’s good intentions do not result in a violation of a student’s constitutional rights.
