Sounds like the school is covering up some potentially bad publicity. I certainly would not stand for this if my kids were threatened to be kicked-out of the public schools. As far as private schools, we could consider them just as a business.
So, if I work at the University of Evansville and I have a blog entry, on my own personal ISP, that mentions UE, I would say, as the employer, if I didn't remove the UE comment, then I would be fired. In my case, I think the comment would need to be slanderous before UE would do that. Even if I made comments like "This place is crazy. The inmates run the asylum." They probably still would not make me take it off. If they did, they would probably stand a chance at a freedom-of-speech lawsuit. However, with a private school, I don't know. Me, I would probably just push the line just enough to get my point across, but not actually break their rules. Or, I would put the blog in my name rather than the kid's. I hate it when authorities tell me to do stuff without having good justification. Damn! Now, I'm pissed for the rest of the day.
