"Blog ruling sets stage for high court battle"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Blog ruling sets stage for high court battle": The New Haven Register today contains an article that begins, "A New Haven-based federal judge's ruling against a high school student for language used in her blog has led to a vow for court appeals. Meanwhile, a state legislator has introduced a bill to protect students' free speech rights. Although U.S. District Judge Mark R. Kravitz ruled Burlington school officials were within their rights when they disciplined Avery Doninger for calling school administrators 'douche bags' on her blog, defense attorney Jon Schoenhorn said this is a 'censorship' issue that could ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court." You can access the ruling at this link.

And in somewhat related news, The San Francisco Chronicle reports today that "Web 2.0 defamation lawsuits multiply."
