Also, the school administration is making statements to the effect of "we can't really tell you everything that's going on, but it's not just about a web site." -- making it sound like this is a case of 'insubordination.' http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20020301/localnews/1739370.htm l ... BTW, the original news story URL isn't up any longer. These looked like significant clips from the one that is up: http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20020226/localnews/1718137.htm l "Volk admits that he agreed in early January not to post the list on his Web site when Davis learned about his plans and ordered him not to. Davis also asked him to turn over the disposable camera he used to take pictures of the girls during class time. "Volk said he changed his mind last week because he believes he has a legal right to publish what he wants on his private Web site. He said he didn't turn the pictures over to the principal because they were taken with his own camera. "However, Volk said he took the feature off the Web site two days later after a parent of one of the girls threatened to sue. .... "He said Davis initially charged him with insubordination for posting the feature on the Web site against his earlier orders. "But Volk believes the principal changed his tune in a hearing with Dunn Monday. He thinks the principal downplayed the Web site issue, possibly because it's a First Amendment freedom of expression topic, and instead stressed Volk's earlier behavioral problems. [...] If I read correctly, the URL for his site is http://www.geocities.com/wholefnsite2002/screwed.html, but Geocities is displaying an 'exceeded it's daily limit' message right now. Maybe somebody can grab it and mirror it. --Geoff --- From: "Carl Kadie" <carlkat_private> To: <declanat_private> Subject: Re: Montana school suspends student for "10 hottest girls" site Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 06:47:35 -0800 Declan, [The newpaper has a follow up. - Carl] Excerpt from http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20020301/localnews/1739370.html Student returns to GFH after judge rules By JENNIFER PEREZ Tribune Staff Writer A District Court order allowed a 17-year-old high school senior who triggered a student First Amendment rights protest earlier this week to return to class Thursday.
