A high school senior who was transferred to an alternative school as punishment for parodying his principal on the Internet is suing the district, arguing it violated his freedom of speech. "Not to excuse it, but school officials need to understand that they're not parents," said Witold Walczak, Pennsylvania Legal Director of the ACLU, which filed the suit on Justin's behalf. "School officials can't reach into parents' homes and tell them how to raise their kids."
