7th Graders Face Expulsion For Facebook Comments

An Atlanta-area middle school suspended two students and expelled a third who called their teacher a pedophile and rapist on their Facebook profiles.

Following a posting on a Facebook page about a teacher, three Atlanta-area seventh graders – two of them honor students – found themselves in really hot water.

Twelve-year-olds Alejandra Sosa and William Lambert, III, have been suspended from Chapell Hill Middle School for 10 days. In one status update, Sosa called the teacher a “pedophile,” while Lambert labeled him a “rapist.” Taylor Tindle, 12, already expelled, had called this same teacher “bipolar.”

The reason for the insults? All three were upset at their instructor, although specific reasons for the anger remains undisclosed.
