He was suspended for tweeting “Yeah, actually” to a question of whether he made out with a 28 year old teacher. He’s suing because the school kept extending his suspension. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?), Rob Huebel hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you think he should have been suspended? Is his lawsuit valid? Let us know in the comments below.

“A Minnesota high school student will be allowed to proceed with a lawsuit against school district administrators who suspended him over a two-word tweet about kissing a teacher, the Star Tribune reports.
The student, Reid Sagehorn, was an honor student and captain of the football and basketball teams at Rogers High in the 12,500-student Elk River Area district, according to the paper.
In January 2014, Sagehorn, using his personal Twitter account, sent a message reading "Actually, yeah" in response to an online question about whether he had "made out" with a 28-year old teacher at the school. The student has since said the tweet was sent in jest.”
