High school was justified in suspending students who ‘liked' racist social media posts, judge rules |
|
A Bay Area school district acted properly when it suspended five students who “liked” or commented on racist images on another student's Instagram account that included nooses drawn around the necks of a black student and coach and comparisons of African American women and students to gorillas, a judge has ruled. The case raised thorny questions about how strictly schools can regulate student speech and whether “likes” on social media should be treated similarly to the original posts. |

Wind tunnels and sheep brains: Students get their STEM wings at this L.A. school |
|
At her aerospace engineering elective, high school senior Keren Araujo shows off the latest creation. “We’re designing airfoils — they’re like the wings of a plane,” explained the 17-year-old. After Araujo and her fellow students put the finishing touches on their wing designs using a computer engineering program, they’ll ship the dimensions to the classroom’s 3D printer and create more model wings. |
