All Eyes on MySpace: Students Suspended for Viewing MySpace Posting

What the hell is going on with MySpace these days? It seems like every other (bad) story seems to center around this site. In any event, I give you...

An AP newswire article, via CNN, reporting that:

A middle school student faces expulsion for allegedly posting graphic threats against a classmate on the popular MySpace.com Web site, and 20 of his classmates were suspended for viewing the posting, school officials said.

Police are investigating the boy's comments about his classmate at TeWinkle Middle School as a possible hate crime, and the district is trying to expel him.

According to three parents of the suspended students, the invitation to join the boy's MySpace group gave no indication of the alleged threat. They said the MySpace social group name's was "I hate (girl's name)" and included an expletive and an anti-Semitic reference.
