A Minnesota high school expelled a freshman who allegedly posted a hit list on his Facebook page.
The list on Facebook included 30 names of school staff, students, and graduates that the student wanted to see dead, Chisholm High School Superintendent James Varichak told the Duluth News Tribune.
There was no threat in the post, other than the heading bearing the words hit list. The decision to expel the teen happened at a special school board meeting.
“We had to prove that it was a substantial disruption to the education process, and we believe it would be if he was to return (to school),” Varichak told the Duluth newspaper.
