I agree, Gordon! Then comes the problem of name calling. Your favorite teacher is someone else’s most hated enemy. Then what? Do we allow any and all public venting in the name of free speech even if that expression is hateful and hurting?

Certainly. The site should prune out such entries and leave entries actually related to the school – like saying that course xyz is too difficult or intense.

I think the truth has to play some part in it, Gordon. To be against an idea has many truths. To suggest an illicit affair that never happened is something else.

When I was in high school (I’m about to date myself), my mother said the great thing about this country was that you could march up and down the streets with signs that said, “Down with President Clinton!” and you wouldn’t be arrested and put in Siberia.
I guess it’s one thing if a newspaper prints libel — but venting on Facebook seems like another. I think the only thing the school has going for it is that the group decided to use something similar to their logo — that might confuse people into thinking they are looking at an official school page.
