A student was expelled for using profanity on a school issued laptop. Is this right, or is the student allowed to do whatever they want with the laptop? I think that it depends on whether or not the school told the students they couldn't use profanity on their laptops. If they didn't the school doesn't really have the right to punish the student.
That's not to say I approve of the student's actions. It was idiotic to do something like that on a school issued laptop. It is pretty obvious that the school would be tracking what you are typing, so I don't know what he was thinking. This student is a high school senior, so he should be smart enough to realize this.
It just shows that you have to be careful about what you post on the Internet with. It's possible that expelling the student was a little extreme, but he if he was stupid enough to curse using a school issued laptop then he probably deserves it.
