US schools lose god-like powers over internet
 

A US school is in shock after discovering that it did not have the power of God over its students' internet use.

Minnewaska Area Schools thought that all that stuff about human rights and the constitution did not apply to its staff when they forced a student to hand over her social media passwords to a school so they could snoop through her off-campus life.

It now looks like a US judge has reminded them of their status in society and told them clearly that forcing a student to give up their social media passwords is a violation of the First Amendment.

The school is coughing up $70,000 in damages and rewriting its policies to prevent further abuse.

However it seems that US schools really do not have a clue when it comes to thinking that they have the power of life and death over their students.

A Rogers High School senior Reid Sagehorn, a 17-year-old student and football captain, was suspended for seven weeks for a two word internet posting.
