CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - A high school student's free speech rights were violated when he was suspended for posting a personal Web page critical of his school, a federal judge ruled Monday. The case is one of the first to reach the courts concerning students' right to free speech on the Internet, said Deborah Jacobs, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri. The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of the student, Brandon Beussink. Judge Rodney Sippel issued a preliminary injunction against Woodland School District in Marble Hill, about 100 miles south of St. Louis prohibiting the district from using the suspension against Beussink in grade and attendance calculations.
