Tennessee student suspended over Instagram memes about principal sues school district and officials
"A Tennessee high school student is suing his school district and administrators for violating his freedom of speech after he was suspended for three days for posting satirical memes directed at his principal on Instagram.
The federal lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in the Eastern District of Tennessee Winchester Division, does not name the student from Tullahoma High School, who is only identified through initials. The city of Tullahoma is about 75 miles southeast of Nashville.
“This case is about a thin-skinned high school principal defying the First Amendment and suspending a student for lampooning the principal on the student’s Instagram page even though the posts caused no disruption at school,” the suit said."
