From The Chicago Sun-Times: A family is mulling legal options after their son was suspended from Oak Forest (Ill.) High School last week for posting critical comments about a teacher on his Facebook page. Justin Bird, a sophomore, received a five-day out-of-school suspension. Justin and his mother, Donna Bird, say the comments were posted on his own time, using his own computer and in his own home. They question whether the school has the authority to go beyond school boundaries to hand down such a punishment.
