What do you say? Should the students responsible be punished with expulsion? What say you?

What if someone put a mocking video up about you? What recourse could you possibly have?

If they had problems with her hygiene or the quality of her teaching, they should have gone with their parents to express concerns to their principal.

This video is just cruel and mean. The expulsion is more than fair.

OH, my GOSH! Those kids are just rude, obnoxious, disrespectful... HOLY COW! I hope they get expelled. That poor teacher. She looked like a nice person to me. I don't envy anyone who has to deal with this crap on a daily basis. Those kids have no idea how good they have it. How soft their lives really are. They should be sent to some kind of summer camp for bad kids where they have to hike in the desert and eat bugs and stuff. Jerk-offs.

Freedom of expression is not the same thing as freedom of speech.

And, neither mean that you are free to use and not face the consequences. Teens are coddled and it turns into displays of their utter wisdom like this.

2.97 GPA is a model student? That's news to me...

Not only is the video in poor taste and mean spirited, it is an invasion into this former teacher's privacy.

I drive by the High School these kids go to every day on my way to work. The place is a HUGE complex and services an abnormally HUGE student population. I agree with y'all, the jerks should be put out to pasture... Yet, I can't help but think that this sort of thing will get worse and worse, with YouTube allowing folks to put anything up about anyone, video cameras on everything from cellphones to who knows what, and with some teens being as cruel as teenagers can be... If the courts uphold this as "freedom of speech/expression" I expect things will get waaaay worse.
