Courts - "SCOTUS rejects appeals in student speech cases"
A brief AP story reports that the SCOTUS this morning rejected two cases re "whether schools may censor students who are at home when they create online attacks against school officials and other students."
For background, see this LA Times story from Jan. 14th, reported by David G. Savage, headlined "Supreme Court to consider educators' response to cyber-bullying: Two principals targeted in MySpace attacks suspended the involved students, who sued on grounds of free speech and won. The issue has now been taken to the high court."
