His fault for adding his principal. What a fucking moron.
So many people make that dumb mistake.. Regardless of whether or not you have them on your FB though, posting something like this is supremely idiotic, it only takes one person on your FB to think you might be serious to show it to the police and you end up expelled and in jail
Perhaps he did it just to show up on failbook.
damn it every goddamn submission in failbook is usergenerated it is so unbelievable
Gee, what makes you think that?
Ooooooooh, the phonics errors.
Agreed.
this was going around on facebook as OMG LOOK AT THIS! THIS GOT A PERSON EXPELLED! – one of those ‘be a fan to see the pic’ pages long before it appeared on here
People who don’t immediately realize that this is fake are imbeciles. Regardless of the student’s psychotic rant, the principal would never have the authority to simply expel him. What if someone else wrote the message using his log-in information. This site is becoming pathetic VERY quickly.
Then leave and stop whining about it.
Agreed. 100%. Matt GTFO!
Not necessarily, they dont need to have hard core proof, all they need is reasonable suspicion. I know a guy that was put on academic probation and had to go to alcohol counseling for a picture on facebook of him holding a Red Solo cup at a party. Now, one could argue that he was just having a cup of water but the university decided that its reasonable to conclude that a person with a Solo cup at a party was drinking alcohol, and as he was under 21 he was punished.
Now I’m not saying this picture is necessarily real, but I can say that if the school had a no tolerance policy that they would be well within their right to expel the kid.
What the University do you go to? Are you at a Baptist College?
Children get punished by school administrators for things that happen outside of school all the time. Whether or not this is actually real is immaterial, although it certainly could be. I hated school enough to have the exact same sentiments.
at my school 3 years ago this one chick posted on facebook that she hated her teacher and wished he was dead, the rant wasn’t quite as bad as this, and the teacher’s son somehow was her friend or something and told him. she got suspended for a week and was transferred out of his class.
so being expelled isn’t really far-fetched
lol Matt what a whiney shit. Why comment with crap like that ? If you think this site is “becoming pathetic VERY quickly” then don’t visit it anymore? “VERY” CAPS omg you must be serious!?
sadly it isn’t
Uh you’re wrong. If there’s a death threat, regardless if it’s on facebook. The person can be held accountable. My friend on the very last day of school for his senior year nearly got expelled. For what? He filled out an exit survey his teacher made him do. question 3. What would make the school better?
He replied with, “blowing it up”. They took that as a bomb scare. He had to get a lawyer to fight it and wasn’t able to attend the graduation ceremony.
Also, people can say this is fake all they want, but I’ve seen people write s**t like this on their facebook. I unfriended them quickly.
Chill.
yeah, the principal has complete authority to expel the student. Any threats arent taken lightly anywhere (if you dont believe me, go yell “Im about to detonate if you dont get me my coke!” on a plane).
It’s not about whether or not it’s fake. It’s about whether or not it’s funny.
People who call others imbeciles for not knowing inside information are imbeciles themselves.
This is clearly fake. There is no way that a principal would have the authority to do something like this, especially overnight!
What if someone else signed in using his login information? If someone actually had a message like that on Facebook, it would be reasonable to assume that someone else had written it. OPEN YOUR EYES, PEOPLE! HALF OF THE STUFF ON THIS SITE IS FAKE!
but it’s still funny.
I don’t think your average principal would use the phrase “act in your behavior”
but it’s still funny
no principal would ever say “do not even come bother coming” either
principals and teachers arent allowed to add students as friends…they have to keep a safe and distinct distance in a faculty/student friendship. fake for sure.
Actually, I have teachers and other staff on my facebook. Not all of them, but some. Then again I go to a tiny ass school where every one knows each other, and half of them are related. lol.
But I’m also not retarded, and don’t post death threats or any crap like that.
I’m not so sure about that. Granted, I am in college and there is quite a difference in rules and such between grade school and college… the fact remains though I have several of my professors on my friends list.
It may be frowned upon for teachers to have students on their friends list, but I certainly don’t think it’s “illegal”. The student just has to be aware of who they are friends with, and not post retarded shit like this.
Tbh No one cares if it is fake or real. I mean its funny who gives a shit about who created it? “Omg that comedian says he was in a plane when a terrorist blew it up. OMG that’s so fake! ‘Cause he is still alive! OMG I FEEL THE NEED TO TELL EVERYONE AHHHH” … Get over yourself and just have a laugh.
Teachers/principals aren’t even supposed to accept or request students as friends, until 2 years after the students graduation.
Is it physically impossible for people to read the comments nowadays? No-one cares what it’s like where YOU live.
That’s not a national rule. Every school district (or private school) is allowed to set their own policy.
That’s true! It’s in the United States Constitution!
Troll win.
Whaaaaaa? OH SHI-
I don’t know if this is fake or not, but I’m pretty damn sure the principal’s not allowed to do this. At least not without the kid and his parents bringing a big fucking first amendment lawsuit against her, the school, and possibly the district.
First Amendment rights only cover political and social commentary. Also, First Amendment rights do not cover death threats, statements intended to cause riots, or statements designed to cause mass panic (EX: Shouting, “Fire!” in a public place unless there’s an actual fire).
The principal is well within her legal right. The first amendment does not cover threatening to kill people. Never has, never should.
Could a student get expelled for this kind of thing? Yes, it is possible, however the principal cannot instantly decide on her/his own to just expel students by mailing out letters. The procedure certainly varies from one school district to another, but there is definitely a set procedure that must be followed. I teach at an alternative school for emotionally disturbed kids, which is where they go when they get expelled from regular schools. In my district, expulsion involves a formal hearing before representatives from the school, the board, and the student. No single person can expel a student.
“In [your] district” being the key words here.
My mom’s a Vice Principal. Somebody did something similar at her school (she wrote on facebook that she wanted to stab her french teacher in the eye)
But yes, no one can expel a student with the snap of a finger. You need to meet the parents, etc.
Exactly! What is someone else signed in to his screenname? She can’t just decide to expel him overnight–this is a process that always takes many weeks.
First amendment rights do not cover uttering death threats. This kid is lucky that all that happened is expulsion. He could have been charged with a felony. If he was expelled for saying that he hated his school and all the faculty were idiots, than you’d be right, but what he did was a criminal act, plain and simple.
Death threats are not covered under the 1st amendment. Anyone making such a threat, even as a joke is most likely going to be expelled and possibly arrested.
@Julia
Death threats are not protected under first amendment rights.
No, the principal can do this. As she should.
Yes, she is. It’s a death threat, she can expel him immediately. No lawsuit will save him.
There are cases very similar to this where the parents did indeed bring a first Amendment lawsuit and lost. The principal and school district were sued. Many courts follow the Tinker Standard with regard to speech that originates off campus.The school can regulate off campus speech when 1) it is foreseeable that it will reach the campus and foreseeable that it will cause a substantial disruption to the work and discipline of the school.
It can likely be proven that both of these requirements have been met. It was reasonably foreseeable it would make it on campus because students and the principal are his fb friends. It is easy to foresee that it would cause a substantial disruption to the school.
Sorry, death threats like that wouldn’t be considered protected under the First Amendment.
umm big difference between using the first amendment and making death threats. just sayin’.
Post-Columbine? You had better believe this is sufficient to allow the school to take serious action. Brush up on the First Amendment and how it actually applies to threats.
Oh, please don’t use the First Amendment when you have no idea what it says/means. First off, it says that the government may take no action limiting your freedom of speech. Little David can spew all he wants on Facebook. He could then and he can now. The gonvernment has done nothing to take his right to speak away.
This, however, does not mean you can say what you want without consequences. Try walking into an airport and screaming “I have a bomb and I’m going to blow all you mofos to hell!” and count the seconds before you’re beaten to the ground by security.
You have the right to say whatever you please and the government can’t do a thing to stop you. This, however, doesn’t mean you can’t be punished for saying something stupid, like, for instance, making death threats.
Please read the Constitution before using it as a shield.
I find it funny, the First amendment says we can save whatever we want, but we are liable to the consequences. In other words, it tells us what we already knew, that we can physically say anything, but must be ready to face the results.
Well, it was originally written because back when the American colonies were under British rule, criticizing the government was a crime.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
This allows us to be as vocal as we want about our opinions and the government cannot stop us. Or, to paraphrase Lewis Black, “I love America; where else in the world can I say this shit?!”
Thank you for this, too many people just cry “FIRST AMENDMENT!!” without knowing what it actually says…
(and means. Meant to add that, too.)
Not only is the principal well within her rights, but depending on the jurisdiction, a kid making that sort of threat could even be charged with making terroristic threats. That’s happened to people in Pennsylvania who have been charged with violence taking place in or around public schools and carries a maximum penalty of about 5 years in jail.
The First Amendment protects, first and foremost, your right to always criticize the government. It does not protect your right to say whatever you want, whenever you want, and never face the consequences.
This may be the quickest and easiest way to ruin your life.
such is facebook
And being on the cheezburger networks.
And adding your principal on FB.
Seriously. That’s not just an expulsion maneuver, that’s an illegal one. You go to jail for threats like that, anywhere to anyone, not just in school to your teachers/principals.
So kids? Don’t do this at home, you will regret it, piteously.
That being said, it’s generated, and would’ve been amusing had it been a true own.
Wow. Just wow. Sounds like David has many more problems than expulsion to deal with…
Why does this kid even have his teachers on his facebook to begin with? Did he not make his profile private? What a dumb ass.
it’s fake. the principal can’t write correctly, as if…
eejit teenages
You’d be surprised. -.-
Yes. No principal in the history of public schools has ever made a typo. Ever. This is because principals are not human, but machines.
funny thing is my old principle was in an accident and had a bunch of metal plates put in his body…. He is now the Princepator.
Those aren’t typos, they’re major-league grammatical errors. No principal would write that badly like, ever.
Um, what part of that principal’s statement isn’t written correctly? Um… none of it. Nice try though.
“do not even come bother coming to school.” nice try though
“Do not even come bother coming to school tomorrow.”
Maybe it’s just me, but something about that doesn’t sound correct.
Just because she chose not to contract it doesn’t make it wrong…you’re just not used to hearing it is all.
okay, fail on my part. disregard.
Actually it’s not the fact that it’s not contracted. It’s the fact that ‘come’ and ‘coming’ are used in the same frame of the sentence.
It should’ve been: “Do not even bother coming to school tomorrow” or “Do not even come to school tomorrow”, but not both.
She probably meant one, then decided the other one was better. Also, if her tone is any indication, she was seriously pissed at the time, so it’s even more likely that it was an honest typo.
It’s not correct. She’s saying come twice in the sentence but in a different form. Why say a word twice? It should say “do not even bother coming to school tomorrow” there is an extra come that shouldn’t be there.
Okay, were it me, and some shithead teenage kid were talking about slitting my throat and burning my coworkers alive, I’d be a little upset, too….enough that might JUST make a typo. Master’s Degree aside, and all.
Let’s think just a tad about what she’d just read before we get all stupid about a damned typo.
Also “have our students act in your behavior” whut??!
The last thing we want is to have our students “act in your behavior” is also not a correct use of the English language. I concur that either this principal is not very bright or this is an eejit teenager trying to sound pompous and adult.
Also, Kivi, if you don’t see the two huge nonsensical mistakes in this post, maybe you should look into a writing class before you go Nice Try-ing those more observant than you.
“act in your behavior” = “act On your behavior”, a typo (i and o are adjacent on the kb.) and sort of poor way to express “act on your threat” or “mimic your behavior”.
“Do not even come bother coming to school tomorrow.” = begin sentence using “come” but reconsider, add “bother coming” but fail to delete previous word.
If I were responding to a death threat against me, perhaps I’d be less than perfect in my typing, too.
Typo or not, it’s still a little questionable as far as the English language goes. Also, if you’re in a position of responsibility such as this, then you don’t go responding in the heat of the moment to a post on Facebook.
Also, given the furore over various teacher/pupil social networking site-related issues in the last few years, and all the advice and “training” regarding said interaction (for those who are too stupid to grasp the essentials), this is the stuff of fairy tails.
I hereby declare this a Fakebook Fail.
Furor*
Fairy tales*
But thanks for trying.
Those two errors do seem questionable. Could just be they were so emotional and did not properly proofread.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Her reply must’ve been written in the heat of the moment and she probably edited it as she was writing (choosing to change “Do not even come to school” to “Do not even bother coming to school”).
In the heat of the moment, you’re liable to make typos. Especially grammatical errors, which include the ‘come’ and ‘coming’ parts. I do it all the time, whether speaking or typing. And I’m pretty damn sure that all of the other people who have commented on this have done it too. So shut the fuck up about it.
This also applies to the ‘Act in your behavior.’ error, also.
So I would suggest you actually think about this, before flying into your pathetic 15-20 WPM typing, making sure you don’t make mistakes, so you can try to prove your point.
And the First Amendment says that the government has no right to interfere with your speech. Simply put, you can say whatever the hell you what. That does not (<— Notice that) mean that you will be protected from the consequences of your words.
How about “act in your behavior” ?!?! Wrong and awful!!! Perhaps, “act in this way”, “behave this way” or other variations. But “act in your behavior” is simply an incorrect phrase. There is no way around it. And it was not a typo or re-phrase edit oversight as was “come bother coming”. It was an incorrect phrase intentionally chosen and so blatantly incorrect that, if not for David’s classmates recognizing this person as the Principal, it would be a tip-off that this was a fellow student attempting to sound formal and authoritative. How sad that the Principal, while acting promptly and correctly, lacked the proper English education or attention to detail to present a properly written note. Quite embarrassing.
Nonetheless, the student needs to be expelled. His combination of homicidal threats, outright belligerence and lack of common sense make him a danger to himself and everyone around him.
Okay. Let’s see how calm YOU are when you’re afraid for your life.
Err… wrong person to reply to. I was SUPPORTING the typos being acceptable.
Holy crap, overreact much?
@ Xenon: Two things invalidate your point:
1. The Principal was not in immediate physical danger. She was at home and probably shaken, but still able to type a coherent (even if not entirely correct) note. If she was so rattled she couldn’t form a sentence, then that would be a different matter.
2. The fact that she had the presence of mind to attempt an edit (see the “come bother coming” line which was an obvious re-wording with incomplete editing) indicates that she was actually taking the time to write correctly. She simply wasn’t able to do so.
Well, there’s always the fact that the principal’s comment was apparently the first one after that tirade, and there weren’t any ‘Whoah, really, dude?’ comments by friends or anything of that nature. In addition to being the first comment despite its wordiness, both the post and comment were made within an hour of each other. Typographical errors are inconsequential – I’ve run into many teachers and professors with horrible spelling/grammar. In addition, the method of contact with the student is (supposedly) good old fashioned snail mail. Over here, whenever something notable happens regarding a student in school, the parents are called first, not mailed. Not that they’d be mailing the parents anywhere anyways.
While it is true that someone else may have posted this to his wall using his account, this fact will most likely not factor into a school administrator’s grasp of the situation – such people are notoriously bad at separating an online presence from physical being.
You do realize that even the U.S. Constitution has some grammatical and spelling errors?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_in_the_United_States_Constitution
Well educated people can make mistakes too.
Ever heard the phrase “to act on”? Used in this instance “act on your behavior” which translates to “to emulate” or “to use as an example”. Which is an acceptable mistake when you realize that “I” on a keyboard is right next to “O”.
“act in your behavior”
Awful grammar.
Kid broke the law, so did the prince for agreeing.
Aka, the teacher should be in more trouble for adding him in the first place.
it’s fake…
I hope his parents are also on his page o.O, and his therapist..and their therapists…
amen
Seriously, who adds their principal? At least update your privacy settings.
When I was in High-School I never appreciated my teachers. Now at 20 years old, they may very well be my favorite group of people.
Ahhh good times, good times David.
Your teachers are now 20 years old?
Umm… I think he probably means that HE is 20 years old. Just saying.
Never mind expulsion, I’d be calling the cops if I were her! Expelling a kid who threatens to kill you isn’t likely to make the problem go away.
ITT trolls being trolled by trolls being trolled by other trolls who are also trolled by other trolling trolls
Privacy filters are your friend ^..~
I can’t find words to describe this act of… *sigh*…in this situation, if I call it stupidity it may sound like a compliment… this is just, wow.
i think this is fake cuz like no kid is dumb enough to add his own teachers nd stuff. some ppl r so desperate to get on here!!
I think you’re just faking being a retard. No one is this stupid. Some people are so desperate for attention!
WIN!
umm…some people actually like their teachers. i certainly do, and i made sure to add them even when i was in high school.
its illegal to be friends with your teachers on facebook so they shouldnt be accepting friend requests from current students.
it’s not illegal anymore if you’re no longer a current student.
No. No, that’s completely incorrect. Neither Facebook or the law has any such restrictions.
Actually where I live it is absolutely against the law for any public high school teacher to be “friends” with students on social networking sites.
There is no law, anywhere, banning teachers and students from being “friends” on any social networking site.
Cite your sources your STFU
I have 5 teachers in my family and it’s part of the school board’s policy that teachers not have public myspace or facebook accounts.
“Law” and “school board policy” are completely different things.
Ex-husband became a teacher, and had to delete his myspace profile before he took the job (didn’t have a facebook at that time – this was about 4 years ago). Not set to private, not update settings, not change names/info….DELETE. I believe it was the county law, not the school board’s guidelines, but I could be wrong.
My principal and teachers all have facebook (minus a few). And some have even added their students.
As an Education major, I would have to say that it probably is the school board’s policy, because I can’t see a whole county taking away someone’s freedom of speech. Personally, I wouldn’t work in that district if they asked me to do that, because I would see it as a violation of privacy. On adding students as friends, while it may not be forbidden by the district, as a teacher it is a BAD and UNPROFESSIONAL decision because there are certain boundries you just don’t cross.
So teachers can’t be friends with pupils now?
You can’t be friends with someone you are in a position of power over, it is unprofessional and creates conflicts of interest. Whether it’s student/teacher, boss/employee, or officer/soldier, it’s always a bad idea. That doesn’t mean you have to be a douche if you are in the position of authority, but you have to keep a certain distance to remain professional. There’s a difference between “friendly” and “friends”.
That is complete crap. I was friends with a lot of teachers in school. That sort of attitude where they can’t be is just due to the “OMG PAEDOPHILE!” attitude that is now common in the world.
me and half of my 9th grade us history class tried to add our hot student intern on facebook. apparently they have to reject friend requests from current students.
You know there is a difference between “being friends” and “being ‘friends’ on facebook” don’t you? God, this world is fucked. Facebook is not the same thing as “being friends with your students” which, in any case, is not unethical at all.
NO IT IS AGINAST TEH LAW MY DAD KNOWS GEROGE BUSH AND HE SAIDS THAT U CANT BE FREINDS WITH UR TEARCHERS!!!1111 GOD SOME OF U R SOO DUM JUST LOOK ON GOOGLE OR ASK UR SCHOOL!!!
seriously calm down chuck. i doubt that your dad knows bush but i may be wrong. and no it is not against the law. and besides bush cant decide that anyway. wow
That was a troll, n/a. Please stop feeding it.
@Chuck & n/a:
Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn’t mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it’s a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.
amen erik
Check your grammar, before you flame someone, smartass.
Let me repeat your own words: “Where YOU live.” That doesn’t mean it’s like that everywhere else….
Exactly. Individual school corporations may have rules regarding teacher/student friendships on social networking sites but that does not make them actual laws.
I think you may want to look the words “urban” and “myth” up.
@starling and @ratatoskr FTW!!! Just know, all you others, yes, there are people this stupid. They are probably in the Southern portion of the United States and Republican. <– Grammar correct, too, except in this addition – mah bad, kthxbai! ROFLz! Maybe could givez semicolonz, but won'tz!
And if mah grammah is wrong afore the arrow, Ah'll be back!!
How long did it take you to type the first half of your post? I’ll bet you were constantly re-reading it until it it was ‘perfect’.
Where is it illegal? That makes no sense…try again amy.
Several counties in Florida (Pasco, Hillsborough, Hernando, at least) for one. It makes perfect sense when there’s thousands of teachers that have been fired for inappropriate interaction with students such as sex, kidnapping, molestation… you name it. 45 year old Mr. Hughes or Mrs. Smith don’t need to have extracurricular interaction with children for any reason unless they’re related or something to that effect.
Hillsborough County? Really? I go to a school in Hillsborough County and I’ve never heard of such a law. Many of my friends are FB buddies with their teachers… :/
I was friends with some of my teachers while I was in highschool. In fact, one asked me to babysit his dog while he was out of town.
I live in Pasco, and I have not only my daughter’s school, but her principal and her teachers added on my FBook. I do this to keep better informed about goings on in her school, and also so her teachers can contact me in the event something happens that isn’t an emergency, but also needs to be discussed. Check your facts, my friend.
It may be strongly suggested, but that doesn’t mean it is a law or anything.
Think about it. There are lots of ways to get up to lewd things with your students. Facebook isn’t one of them, because it’s traceable and not private at all.
I was and am friends with plenty of my teachers. One of my teachers is in my “mafia” and we talk more about that than we ever do about class.
I am a librarian at an elementary/middle school, and a lot of the older students have asked to be my friend on facebook. At first I said no because I don’t want to watch every little word that I post, but most of the students that asked also go to my church’s youth group, and knew me there first (I occasionally help out). I didn’t want to pick and choose what students to add and what students to reject, so I eventually just accepted all of the friend requests.
I think it’s funny when they post complaining about homework, but they’re too smart to complain about anything that has to do with me….not that they have anything to complain about
Some teachers require it for class. My Law prof sends class updates and stuff through a Facebook group. Which… is a bit weird, but I make sure to hold my tongue because I know my prof can read my page.
Keeping track of your flist and taking its contents into consideration. These are valuable life skills. ^^
That’s (or sounds like, by your wording) college. Not HS.
Something that can help you keep from watching your words is to get all of your friends to make alternate facebook accounts.
When facebook redid their privacy settings it defaulted you to a public profile. If you never made your profile private, or even if you have it friend of friends, it is possible for them to see it without being their friend. The first person who replied never said they were the principal, just that the principal could see it.
I have all my teachers added on facebook. Not all of us are immature brats who cannot communicate with our teachers because they are adults.
In fact, some of are actually ‘educated’ enough to understand that age isn’t a factor in friendships. But you wouldn’t know what ‘education’ is, so I suppose I’m just wasting my time..
Excuse me, but have you even read the comments? People (and that is of course not everyone) have written, that on their school, facebooking is not allowed. As a policy. That doesn’t make us uneducated…
Whether or not you are friends with your teachers is not the point. Anything you post on the internet can be used against you…someone he was friends with could have easily reported him and his profile would have been pulled up…privacy settings or not
I wasn’t replying to all of them in general, just the first post. He said it’s ‘dumb’ to add teachers, not that he couldn’t add them because of a school policy.
If I were you, I’d figure things like that out before posting and making an ass of yourself.
i’m sure by this stage of the debate, the penny’s dropped and you’re feeling a little retarded. as i said before, low IQ people should keep their opinions to themselves.
Judging by your grammar, I think you need to follow your own advice.
oliver has perfect grammar xenon. i dont know what your problem is. i wonder who’s feeling like the retard now? and you are exactly right oliver. if you dont know what youre talking about, dont comment.
“low IQ people”
No capitalization to start sentences.
I would watch how I threw the word “perfect” around if I were you.
As Danny hints at, for extra marks it should have been “people with low IQ.”
Also “I” should be capitalised. Oliver’s SPELLING was correct (unless I is spelling, I’ve heard arguments both ways on that
), but his grammar was wrong.
I don’t get why anyone would have a teacher as a ‘friend’ on facebook. Teachers are not your friends they are your TEACHERS!! They have a responsibility to maintain professional boundaries. Whether it’s official or not, the two should be kept seperate.
if it is fake, why would all his friends be reacting in such a way if that wasn’t his actual principal/teacher? that seems a little too elaborate just to get on this site…
Perhaps the friends weren’t in on the joke, just the kid and the “principal”? It would be possible to keep the joke between two people to freak others out. Or even done by a single person who made a fake FB profile.
Not that I’m saying it IS fake, or implying it is funny by calling it a joke, was just listing some possibilities, and now I’m just covering my ass before it gets jumped on by anyone!
Forgot to say, I’d also be curious to see the date this was actually posted on FB since it showed up just a week+ after April 1st.
@JJ81 Ohhhh…. That’s some really nice thinking. I’d have never realized that it could’ve been updated on April Fools… My hat’s off to you, right there. That had stopped a pretty big ‘THAT’S FAKE!’ debate. Not saying you stopped the last one, though…
Not everything said on April Fool’s Day is a joke though, so it’s back to the argument…
You’d be utterly surprised at how stupid people can be… And how much some kids think they can get away with.
More importantly, why is the kid such a psycho that he thinks of slitting throats and watching the blood spew?
This is not a funny one- more like a disturbing one. Still this one puts new meaning to the term “epic fail”
I know plenty of my teachers who have facebooks, i just don’t add them.
He deserved that one.
Fifth!!
Well at least he got a decent grammar with just a couple faults. More than one could say about the majority of failbook adds :p
But did you catch the principal’s typo? She wrote: “Do not even come bother coming to school tomorrow.” In any case this is totally an epic fail.
A typo does not equal an epic fail.
because it’s fake!!! how gullible are you people?
Oh really? How do you know that it’s fake? Do you know these people?
And who even said that she was the principal? I don’t know about you, but if I saw someone post that on facebook, I’d show it to the principal and get them expelled.
By the way, are principals suddenly not human? Is it suddenly impossible for them to make mistakes or go on facebook?
FYI, some principals have worse English skills then even me.
I think you mean “than,” not “then.” Thanks for proving your point.
it’s fake for many reasons. the typo’s, the ridiculous grammar and the piss poor attempt(homer simpson style) at sounding sophisticated. not to mention that the legal quagmire that the “apparent” principal has put herself in by expelling him on facebook.
Okay, Oliver-the-idiot, I’m sure. The next time someone threatens to spill your blood all over the place, lets see how well you type and how ‘sophisticated’ you sound.
Like I said before, no one said she was the principal, everyone is just ‘assuming’ it because of one of his friend’s comments. It could just be a concerned classmate that wants to keep their school safe. I would have done the same thing, and probably said it the exact same way.
So you can’t assume it’s fake unless you really know the person. People who cry ‘fake’ like you are the attention whores, not the people who post these things. It’s a lame as yelling ‘photoshop’ on a actual photograph.
All you are is an attention-whore. You can argue, but we all know it already, so there’s not much of a point.
so who did the expelling? random “concerned” class-mate issues an expulsion? i don’t think so. this would have become a police matter, not fb drivel.
the reason these appear on here is that there is always a few, below average IQ types, who are dumb enough to believe this crap.
keep your double digit IQ to yourself, tard!
And you, Oliver, had just made me laugh, at your pathetic comeback, with people’s IQ’s. You’re the one who had to jump the gun, screaming ‘fake’ all over the comment board, trying to start debates. That has just lowered your IQ down to single digits. Then you had to prove that it could go even lower, by arguing at debates you know you’ve already lost.
And I’m with RoXas. I would’ve done the same, if I had read that on any of my friend’s statuses. -sighs- And enough with the grammatical errors, okay? I’m pretty damn sure, that you would have done the same exact thing, if your neck was under the blade. I would’ve. So would RoXas. So would the rest of the world. I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it. You are just in denial.
Sounds more like she was so angry that she didn’t catch that one.
And you should see the typos my son’s principal makes in the weekly newsletter. Makes me want to weep.
Heh… Try telling that to Oliver, and all of the others on here…
FAKE N GAY
Just like you then
What is “gay” about this? There was nothing written about homosexuals in this post.
who mentioned homosexuals? the man said FAKE AND GAY
Exactly. I repeat Mo’s question – what about this post is homosexual? If Danny means that the post is lame/stupid/weird/odd, then he should use one of those words.
…Really? REALLY!?
The last time I checked, ‘gay’ was another word for ‘homosexual’.
Although it isn’t official, most of us prefer being called that instead of ‘homo’.
Maybe you aren’t an attention-whore. Maybe you’re just that stupid.
smart people keep quiet when they’re unsure of something.
go watch raywilliamjohnson on YT.
FAKE AND GAY is an expression. i can’t be bothered to explain
@oliver: For someone who states how smart they are as opposed to the others on this site, I would have thought you would have caught that the people are making it a point that the word “gay” should not be used in replacement of the word “lame/stupid/idiotic.” Expressions may exist but doesn’t mean that they are correct in usage.
@Realist: The word “Gay” has never been officially defined as a word that means lame/stupid, therefor not a synonym. Synonyms for the word gay: happy, excited, exuberant, brilliant, and homosexual.
@oliver and Realist: The people responding to this asking, “What is homosexual about this post,” are simply making intelligent commentary on how society’s misuse of words in social slang and jargon need to evolve and mature.
This. One hundred percent THIS.
I am vouching on what you have just said, my friend. Way to shut them, and their agonizingly low IQ’s up.
Really, Olliver said that smart people shut up when they are unsure of something. So, he’s basically saying that he’s a complete moron, yes?
@Xenon: So very true.
Homosex is a sin. Faq.
@ oliver: Exactly.
And to RoXas, last I checked “gay” carried a second connotation as a synonym for lame/stupid etc.
As Lynn said, what about this post is homosexual? If Danny means that the post is lame/stupid/weird/odd, then he should use one of those words.
You, sir, fail.
Wait, scratch that…
You, newfaq, fail.
Seriously?
Again with the misuse of words…I’m pretty sure that the people commenting on this aren’t a pile of sticks or a cigarette in the UK…and the reason I think that is because sticks and cigarettes can’t type/aren’t people…so you’re pretty much an idiot for thinking a person is a stick/cigarette. Major English fail. You have no right to insult people when you don’t even have the mind to comprehend how ignorant you are.
kthx.
You are confusing “venting” with “making a death threat”
props Paul. Glen those are 2 completely different things there.
ha!
“Do not even come bother to coming to school tomorrow” -Teacher/Principle.
Um… Grammar fail much.
anyway… Wow, what an idiot.
Maybe you should take into account the fury and half a dozen other emotions going through her mind…? You can’t honestly say you’ve NEVER made a grammatical error before.
It probably wasn’t even a grammatical error. She probably started to write “Don’t even come to school tomorrow” and backed up and tried to write “Don’t even bother coming to school tomorrow,” but didn’t backspace enough… it’s happened to many people with otherwise pristine grammar.
What? A logical explanation? No way, not here, sir. ITS A GRAMMAR FAIL!
^^
Awards another internet for improper usage of the word “its.”
::awards one internet for beating me to the probable explanation:: ^^
Glad i’m not the only one that considered this.
Be careful —
I am pretty sure you meant to spell principal and not principle.
Wow, what an idiot!
I am usually a stickler for correct grammar/spelling, but in this case I think I can forgive the prinicipal. If anyone posted that about me I’d probably not be thinking completely clearly when I responded either.
If *I* were that principal, I’d be thinking about keeping my job by following proper procedure in expelling a student. As in, it’s not a public matter. And FB replies do not constitute official expulsion notices. And I would also have likely seen enough egregious misbehavior to handle it in a more measured way– and with better grammar.
Which is why I suspect that the response is NOT from the principal.
I’m sorry, but your message encompassed such utter failure that I could scarecly avoid addressing it. First of all, not a public matter? Are you indicating that she did not have the right to directly address the student making DEATH THREATS on the same forum which he used? Second, no, FB replies do not constitute official expulstion notices. Hence the part about “mailing an expulsion letter to your house”. Reading fully helps you not be an idiot.
Finally, and, in my mind, most importantly; enough egregious misbehavior? Yes, she has probably seen a great deal of misbehaviour. But death threats? Especially ones with that much demented specificity? I doubt it. I would be quite perturbed and angry after seeing that, and my reaction would be much the same, if not exactly the same. That is all I have to say, other than, in summary; Your logic is flawed.
TL;DR — Your logic is flawed. Lrn2read.
Errr… they’re just saying don’t come into school because you’re ABOUT to be expelled. Also, maybe this is her first time dealing with a death threat?
I wouldn’t want that little shit there at my school, either, and would defy the school board to call me on the carpet for responding on facebook to a threat he made ON FACEBOOK. As long as she followed the procedures to the letter after she initially acknowledged the threats, she’s within the bounds – well within them. She’s erring on the side of caution on behalf of her staff and students to tell this kid not to come back to her campus.
And fuck her grammar, fuck keeping her job. Her #1 priority is to keep her kids and co-workers safe, and she’s doing that.
Period.
You spelled Principal wrong. Spelling fail much?
at least he knows how to spell right in front of the Principal
You mean ‘spell correctly’.
OMG, are you the same David that posted that thing on that Facebook that?
Yes I am
No, I’m Spartacus!
I never post crap about my school but I know others in my friendslist do all the time so I wouldn’t write this off as fake just because you don’t think that people would say things like that about people or faculty.
I just about died when I saw a bunch of my friends adding my school to their facebook (someone actually created a facebook account with my school’s name, I’m thinking probably our principal or something)
I didn’t add my school or any teachers from it just in case I did get angry at a teacher and said something- though I’d never say anything that violent sounding about the school! This post certainly seemed more legit than the last few at least.
TL;DR
@Bill
tg;dl (too gay, don’t like)
I never add any teaches on Facebook because I get pissed very easily.
BO-GUS
I’m sure the School Governors would have issue with the “Principal” expelling someone via Facebook.
I’m sure the “Principal” get’s ‘death-threats’ all the time from students who fell on the wrong side of them… part of the job. LIke Maccy D jockeys spitting in the lettuce.
and who in God’s name knows their “Principal” enough to add them as a friend, and WHY would a Principal accept a freind request from a student at their school, if that isn’t a ‘conflict of interest’ in the making, or indeed under-cover surveillance without the effort then what is?!?!
Only in America people…
Unveiled, explicit death threats in a public forum aren’t a day-to-day thing; even if kids constantly get mad there is a difference between thinking, speaking aloud, and finally speaking aloud with specifics in public. Not all speech is protected.
Now, it may be fake; I figure that’s the only reason that people have voted this one down.
god, the douches like this who add their parents, teachers, and headteachers are worth having around, just for the fun of these events
seriously…who adds their principal on FB?? lol
This one has been post before on this website
I’m pretty sure the principal wouldn’t be allowed to be Facebook friends with students. Most schools have policies against that sort of thing.
Exactly what I was thinking. My wife’s a teacher, so I know firsthand that teachers are not allowed to have them. And besides, would a principal in his or her own right mind retaliate by responding via facebook for the world to see? Hell no. This shit is fake.
Your wife’s a teacher, therefore you know that teachers in her school district are not allowed to have them. The fact that something is true in one situation does not make it universally true. For example, teachers in my school district are allowed to have Facebook accounts. As for the statement about the principal retaliating via Facebook, it is a legitimate argument, but I think that it’s entirely possible that the principal wasn’t thinking clearly, considering they had just read a death threat against them, so really, they wouldn’t be in their “right mind”.
I’m a high school teacher myself, and it varies widely from district to district. In mine, it’s not encouraged, but isn’t exactly grounds for dismissal if used judiciously. Definitely not illegal.
Maybe where YOU live. Not worldwide. And why wouldn’t she respond? That’s a pretty serious thing for someone to say.
And as we know, in the US, our education system is national and standardized.
Oh…wait…that’s not at ALL like the US.
I am a teacher and I certainly have a Facebook. Most of my colleagues do. Some are even friends with current students. There are no rules against it where I teach.
I guess I just don’t understand the point you four are trying to make. Maybe if another 4 or 5 people repeat THE SAME DAMN THING, I will get it. Tards.
When I posted, the other two hadn’t shown up yet.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
“The last thing we want is to have our students act in your behavior” ?¿?¿
haha. what a dumb shit. school faculty members aren’t supposed to add students or accept their friend requests though.. its illegal. still… what a dumb fuck.
Yes, yes you are.
It’s not illegal anywhere. It IS, however, against the school board rules in some districts. Not all.
I think the principal’s typo might just be out of anger as I know IF I were her I’d be so livid that I couldn’t see straight, let alone type out an answer. Yes, the kid deserves to be expelled for not only threatening to kill the principal but the other teachers as well. You can’t take chances any longer since we’ve had the school tragedies and massacres that we’ve had in the last 10 or 11 years.
I’m quite a grammar fiend myself (English majoring, after all), and I know that when some little idiot gets me all worked up I have a tendency to make little typos or grammar errors myself.
I usually feel like an idiot afterwords >_<
*afterwards
*afterwards
Good job on that one “English majoring”- how about “English Major” and “afterward” you do not pluralize that word.
Feel free to feel like an idiot at any time.
Actually, the “afterwards” IS correct. Sorry to rain on your parade with dialect differences.
Haha this was a ‘become a fan to see’ thing that went round a day or two ago! Glad I’ve seen it now, I refuse to fill out surveys for this kind of thing
LMAOOO there’s a group on FB dedicated to this… You hav to take a stupid quiz to see the actual status… He got expelled.. DUMBASS
just…wow
what a retard
1. i think this kid’s too young to have facebook yet. fail parents
2. who adds their principal on facebook? thats retarded.
3. dont post shit online cuz anyone of ur friends can screenshot it and show it to the principal then
Too young? What makes you think that? Too stupid, definitely but there are plenty of stupid adults who do this kind of thing.
Ok, there is no way this is real. Mainly for the reason, a high school principal would not just be so passive about it. Especially these days. If a principal were to really see something that, the page would be saved to a hard drive, the police notified so on and so on. Death threats on a facebook page? The victims of Columbine could be so lucky. This IS completely farce, and its just a bunch of kids wanting their fabricated “fail” on public display. I find it if anything completely DIS-RESPECTFUL to those who have “actually” been attacked in a school environment. For real fail book…find a way to research the validity of submissions..
I am in COMPLETE agreement with you!
What tells you these things didnt’t happen? I don’t say it is true, but it could be. We don’t know what the principle did after reading this..
Heed this principle: The principal is your pal.
Some schools receive these types of threads on a daily basis and after a while one does in fact develop a resistance/cool head about these things.
It’s easier to be passive about this kind of thing than one would think. An ex friend of mine made such threats on facebook before and they were expelled as they too had their principal on their page. I’m fairly sure said individual is now in jail somewhere.
Crazy motherfucker, thats what he gets. Dumbass. HAHAHAHA
How are we sure that the first comment is the principle or a teacher.. It could be like a prissy student or something
this is fake, the shadow’s all wrong.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh wait…You’re not serious, are you?
*applauds*
I concur. The reflection is a bit off as well; definitely shopped. And I HAVE seen quite a few shops in my time.
Serves the little newfaq right. People in the field of education get paid VERY little, and yet they continue to attempt to educate the ignorant. They deserve a great deal of respect for that. Things like this, though, are EXACTLY why I do NOT want to be a teacher of ANY kind.
Douchbaggetry at its finest with this kid, rachel. Don’t let one child discourage anything you may want to achieve in life tho
Rachel & Ian, it’s people like you that I wish this world had more of. In other words, people that aren’t idiots and understand that quite a lot of our generation is in the shithole.
Word up, homeslice.
+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
You’re totally on the mark.
Honestly this is all a fake. If any principal I ever knew saw this they wouldn’t have commented. They would have made a note, taken a screen shot, then called the authorities and the students parents. If anyone truly believes this they would have to be dumb. To answer anyones questions yes threatening the life of a staff member with this level of anger would get you expelled.
He’s lucky the principal isn’t going further than that.. I think she could bring this to court for threatening her life should she want to.
I’m a teacher and most of my students are facebook friends, and all but one is respectful to everyone, not just me. But then, at my school, that’s expected. Maybe I should mention that I teach at a Tae Kwon Do school and failure to show respect means losing your belt. It’s ok to vent, but your issues are your own and caused by you.
I also call bogus. The teacher, or facualty who replied would have just called the cops, not recommend that this moron go to another school. Thats just passing the crap on to someone else. This should have gone to the cops, and to a therapist.
Things we learned from this fail:
-Don’t post online threats on a networking site.
-Don’t add your principal in your friends list if you hate her.
-If you’re really going to kill someone, STFU about it and do it, if not, just STFU about it.
THIS is the kind of thing I think of when I hear friends of mine say “I have nothing to hide” and they put their real-life name and information into social networking sites. DUH!
tell me again, why would you add the principal?
Kids do NOT say stuff like this all the time, especially not in public (i.e. on FB or where adults can hear/see). When they do, they’re referred to the police and have disciplinary action taken against them by the school. It’s considered harassment and a legitimate threat to harm a faculty member. I’ve been trained in this sort of thing. It doesn’t happen too often to this level of psychopathy, and it’s definitely not an “all the time” thing, as you so flippantly call it. Adults take comments like this seriously, whether the kid means them or not.
Of course this is fake – seriously!
-Nearly all of the comments appeared immediatly after the the status was made, convenient no?
-Who on earth adds their principal?
-And WHO adds their principal and then posts death threats about her while she is online?!
-Since when can you be expelled via FB -> “we have mailed an expulsion letter”, it’s not quite that simple i’m afraid.
I really can’t believe people are so gullible!
Actually, about a year ago there was a thing on the news in SC where some kids made fun of their principal on facebook and they were all suspended from school for “disruptive behavior.” You would be supprised at how many school figures are really that immature.
very true. this has happened on several occasions to many students. just google “facebook status gets student expelled” and see just how many actual news stories come up. this does happen
oh and whoever above said april fools joke….i would hardly call it that
- Facebook tends to work like that, and also the last comment was actually two hours later
- I know people who have
- Apparently someone with some serious issues
- Technically they weren’t expelled via Facebook, I assume that the reference to an expulsion letter means that a letter will be sent to their house, standard procedure for an expulsion
Not saying it’s not fake, just saying that you need some better points.
I’m sorry, but again, you’re so annoyingly imbecilic that I simply must comment on it. One; I, as an avid user of FaceBook myself, comment on many interesting things immediately after they are posted, and often conversations start, varying in length and quickness depending on the interestingness factor of said post. I would call this, while disturbing, interesting, wouldn’t you?
Second, you’re right, the kid is an idiot for adding their principal.
Third, right again, but he already proved himself an idiot just by posting this at all, so the idea of him having the sense and aforethought to block her or wait until she’s offline is just outlandish.
Fourth, it is that simple. In many schools, especially private schools and some public schools as well, all you have to do is type up a letter that explains why the student is being expelled, and they’re gone. Bam. Just like that.
I’m cynical. Which happens to be a viable opposite to gullible. I don’t believe things that aren’t believable[sp?]. This is.
It says “I will be mailing an expulsion letter to your house.” not “we have mailed an expulsion letter”
DUMB ASS!
…
An hour is a long time. Things can happen in an hour.
Death threats are not a joke? Is that proper grammar?
yes.
um please return to 2nd grade where we learned about proper noun-verb agreement. in this case it is correct. death threats is plural. are is a verb used for plural nouns. if it said “death threat are” or “death threats is” then no it would not be correct. but it is. try again
OMG MAJOR PWNAGE!!
Whether this is fake or not…I find it hilarious that so many people screw up their lives because they don’t take a second or two to remember if the person they’re insulting in on their facebook or not. (Especially if it’s an important figure such as a teacher, boss, principle, ect.)
People shouldn’t add teachers, principles or bosses to their facebook if they’re going to whine about, complain about and insult said person.
Oh facebook…
Possibly fake. A principal obviously wouldn’t stop at just an expulsion.
This is fake..the way they keep calling the principal “The principal” nobody actually does that :L
Yes they would.
Exactly. Would you dare to call your mother/father by their real name in public? I wouldn’t. I’d get the scolding, and probable ass-kicking of my life. I’m pretty much showing them how disrespectful I could be, by doing that. And I wouldn’t even do that in private. And the line doesn’t stop and bloodlines. This is referred to all superiors (), which includes the principal.
I think I’ve made my point across.
Urgh… Fail attempt at pointing things out. there was ” between the parentheses.
Oh… I used brackets… That’s why it wouldn’t come up… -_-
Stupid BBC/CSS/HTML…
People have to earn respect in my eyes, no matter who they are, but if they have a title like headteacher or admiral, I’ll call them by that name.
However, I probably will call my dad by his first name if we ever meet again. He wasn’t a very good father.
XD glad i never was specific or used the actual wording of me killing somebody at my high school. sad thing is is that the teacher i was having problems also had a sister or cousin-in-law (i forget which) that was the school district psychologist and she didn’t even like said teacher XD
He could have been friends with a FB page for his school and not the principal.
Fake and Ghey
this is indeed a true story….it happened at edgewood high school in merrit island, florida to a senior…reported on the news…link here:
http://www.techjackal.net/internet/2010/04/03/facebook-status-moves-student-to-expelled-status/
Nothing in the links is nothing remotely similar to this. One, that was an English teacher, this references a principal, and two “”Hey, I want to kill Mrs. Bowen. Does anybody want to help?”" is not what’s posted above.
All the links do is show that there are kids dumb enough to threaten their teachers via FB
Interesting–reread one of them. The wording of the post is very different, but i references the Katrina post.
On a side note: CB Network, edit or delete buttons for our own posts would be really nice
and for further reading: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/schools/defriended-student-posts-facebook-death-threat-against-merritt-321115.html
If you actually read that article it says there is no listing for a “Katrina” in the faculty listings so this “Katrina” is probably another student who reported it.
This is fake. It’s been posted on here before, though the “threat” David made was different on the other post. Fakeeee. :p
Yeah…this shit is fake…unless I see a new report on, cause I know the news loves to report shit like this…seeing that it isn’t…I have concluded…this shit is FAKE AND GAY
Wow? Gay? Youz dezerve some LOLcats, “Jerkoff”. Getz sum. (I don’t even think we call them that anymore, Republican bastard.) We makez them gayz and it’s okayz. Take away Medicare, and I’ll believe you. Do you even know what that is?? Rawfuls!
Look two entries above you.
I understand it being fake… but why is it gay?
why do you retarded douchebags keep using ‘gay’ as a negative?
And why is Zeb using Republican as a negative? Jealousy, that’s why.
Why would a student add his principal on facebook? Thats not too professional of the principal to do and what kind of suck up adds his principal??
that totally sucks.
haha WIN
I know it’s already been said, but when you’ve seen someone post that they’re going to slit your throat and laugh as you spew blood, you’re probably not going to type at 100% grammatical accuracy. Just saying.
In regards to whether or not the first account to leave a comment was actually the principal, I don’t see any reason to believe that the account was NOT operated by the principal. All of the people who posted comments after the “principal” seem to agree that the account is that of the principal. Reasonably, the other commenters are in the same age range (probably high school), and it’s fair to say at least one or two of them probably would go to the same high school and know the principal’s name. The only way it could have convincingly worked was if all of the people who made the later comments were in on the prank and if there was some way to make sure that nobody who wasn’t in on the prank wouldn’t call out the status as fake.
There’s no way to know what the school board’s policy is on social networking interaction between students and faculty, so to say it’s illegal can’t really be considered true unless somebody can produce proof of what school district this occurred in and what that district’s policy is.
As far as Facebook not being the proper place to expel a student, that’s true, but the “principal” also stated that she was sending a notice of expulsion (which would be part of the proper way to expel a student). The main purpose of the comment by the “principal”, besides to inform the student that he was expelled and would be receiving a notice of expulsion, was to tell the student not to come to school the next day. I’d say that Facebook is a perfectly acceptable venue for saying that to a student unless such communication was prohibited by district policy.
Finally, there’s nothing remotely homosexual about the status or the following comments, so there are probably better adjectives to describe the status than “GAY”. Just pointing that out.
Hmm… -thinks, and awards this person twenty internets-
It’s about goddamn time someone like me and Xeron has said this, and has given decent proof to back it up.

Where’s my cookie?
Well, thank you Leo. And if you scroll up, you can see, that I’ve given a nice amount of light, to guide these deniers to the true path.
What I have to wonder is…why would you add the principal if you hate her so much?
YAY I WON 1 INTERNET AND A COOKIE
PLZ DELIVER
The typos don’t indicate it’s a fake. Hell, I’m a published author and still make typos like that. But what makes it suspicious is A) disciplinary action wouldn’t be done over FB because the principal would most likely be sued for releasing this information publicly outside of official channels; B) the principal should have (and would have, IMO) immediately called the cops on this one, especially after the many school shootings that have occurred.

This is real
Stoopid hoomin. Yes, thay can coz of yer George beloved Fookin W. Bush, stoopid.
When I was a student teacher, this boy kept asking me to be his Facebook friend because he thought I was “a major hottie.” I would have been in such deep trouble if I actually added him.
dumbass,
I remember when I was in high school (class of 07) the teachers would have a heart attack if someone joked about this kind of thing. I got suspended for three days for telling a class mate that I wanted to shoot this bully that was giving me crap when I was blowing off some steam. That was them being very easy on me.
Despite that slip up, I’ve learned to watch what I say in school seance junior high. Even though you’re just full of shit or joking, you WILL get into trouble.
They take this kind of thing extremely serious. That kid got off lucky with an expulsion, they may have reported him to the police and get a criminal record for making a threat.
*facepalm*
Go back to your homework kid, it’s obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about.
You know, I realized that failbook is like a retirement or rehab community, everyone is cranky or really happy but in the end we all love eachother because we are all willing to spend time thinking out a necessary name in order to post a comment here then type out their email then type out an entire comment on why this fails, or why that owned, or on why people are wrong or not wrong. This is pure dedication, and I’m honored to be apart of this community. I feel young again! Or perhaps…sober again! So my friends, my neighbors, bicker on. I will be lending out sugar for anyone who needs it.
-awards five internets for being someone to realize this-
As will I. If you ever need help with the light, just shout, and I will come.
In most school districts I’ve been a part of, the principal doesn’t have the authority to expel a student…they can suspend the student for 5 days but to expel a student, the behavior has to go to a higher up and there has to be a hearing and such. This leads me to believe this is fake. I can’t speak to why students add their teachers, Facebook wasn’t around in my high school days and in my college days, it was so new that teachers weren’t on. Now I am friends with former teachers and professors, but I don’t think it would be smart to show the picture of you taking shots on your 21st birthday to your students…
I see this shit and laugh, personally. And I seriously want to know what happened to this kid. If he was really expelled I would laugh, I mean seriously, who hasn’t been extremely pissed off and wanted to kill the staff of their school before? It’s kinda a part of being a teen, you freak pretty damn hard, y’know?
Oh, I don’t know. Sane people?
-steals an internet from Thrawp, and gives it to Xenon-
You deserve it. You put out the truth quite simply. Thank you.
XD! Thanks.
the kid is lucky the principal ONLY expelled him
I meant I love you principal, and i love college!
Eek, what an angry kid to be saying things like that anyway. He needs to be kicked out of school so that his parents know to get him help. Angry young man.
Wut a jackass lol
that’s…. just… bad…. WHAT A VERY VERY VERY MEAN PRINCIPAL!
Everybody seems to be missing some major points.
1. Everyone is assuming that the kid or principal added the other as a friend. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY SO. Default privacy settings on Facebook profiles are “Public,” meaning everybody can view it. Maybe “David’s” privacy settings were not changed, thereby allowing anybody to see it. Or maybe he has it changed to the setting where only people in his network can see it. Therefore, seeing as they’re in the same network, she’d be able to see his status and profile, friend or not. Therefore, the dismissal of this post as genuine because either, “Principals are not allowed to friend their students” or “No student would be stupid enough to friend his principal” is erroneous.
2. I am a little disturbed that most people commenting on this post are more concerned with the fact that “David” (a) didn’t have this privacy settings correct, or (b) added his principal as a friend, either one allowing her to see the post. The thing that shocked me about this one was…um…Oh, yeah. That it was a DEATH THREAT. You don’t post things like this on your Facebook profile, diary, say it in a public setting, etc., EVER unless you are willing to pay the legal consequences for it. Forget expulsion. This principal would have been completely within all boundaries of reason to call the police on this kid. I know I would have.
I’m pretty certain this IS the reason for expulsion and that it will be on the letter.
You made my day
Actually, yes they can expel someone for threats posted on Facebook, especially since Columbine. You don’t have to make a verbal threat on school property- it can be anywhere in any form. Any threat is reason enough, and I think the principal did the right thing. I would not want that student coming back to school after a threat like that. Note that there was also mention of a letter, so it wasn’t just the Facebook message.
This is fake for 5 reasons:
1. A principal cannot expel someone over something that has happened over the internet.
2. Nobody is stupid enough to add their principal to their Facebook.
3. If a student made a death threat to a principal while in school, it would be beyond the principal’s control. The police would be called and they would take care of it.
4. The same exact thing has been posted before, a very long time ago. (I saw it too)
5. Look at the times at which all the comments were posted. All in the same minute.
It’s a troll post, but it’s still funny.
I’m a teacher, and I know how expulsion rules work. You can’t expel a student over Facebook, you dumb shits. A principal would never be childish enough to respond to a facebook post like this; they would call the cops because outside school property, only the police can handle death threats. Principals must have 3 years of teaching experiences & a Master’s Degree. No principal would handle this situation by responing on-line. Anyone who believes this is stupid & uneducated. For your own sakes, don’t ever speak to the cops before you lawyer-up because you’d all get yourself sentenced to death.
Icanhascheezeburgernewbie, you’re one of the only sensible, intelligent people who made a remark on this post.
Nice try you fucking moron.
I’m a teacher as well and have had to deal with a few expulsions as well just this year alone and a couple of them were indeed FB-related. The proper paperwork was filed and there were no issues at all regarding the process. Yeah it wasn’t the best choice for the principal to reply back but like I said if I were in their position I wouldn’t give the worthless piece of shit the chance to come back to campus, it pretty much explicitly said what would happen: they don’t want him back on campus and an expulsion letter would be sent to his house.
He wasn’t expelled on FB he was told he was going to be expelled on FB, seems like a pretty legitimate thing to do. Anything more like why weren’t the cops involved is reading way too far into things since for all we know they did that after the whole fiasco happened.
And you call yourself a teacher? I would be more concerned about losing my own head rather than being concerned about anon posters on the interwebz if I were in your shoes.
that’s pretty talk for a teacher…scroll up and read all about this in the news before you start name calling…
1. A threat is a threat and will taken as seriously as a threat made on school grounds. If I was a teacher or principal dealing with that I wouldn’t want to give that punk a single chance to be on campus after hearing that.
2. You’d be surprised.
3. Whos to say that that wasn’t the next step? I’m sure he wasn’t going to get off that easy.
4. I’ve been here for quite some time and I don’t recall seeing anything of the sort.
5. They were all posted within the same hour, after a few hours Facebook just lists an estimate of how many hours ago a post was made rather than specifically listing how many minutes ago the post was made. For all we know the posts could have been made 5 to 10 to 20 minutes or more apart from each other. Any more brainbusters you fucking idiot?
Not arguing if it is fake or real BUT…
1. A principal CAN suspend someone for something hat has happened over a public forum and then take the necessary steps that may lead up to an expulsion.
2. You would be surprised at how stupid some people are.
3. The principal would be the one calling the police and filing charges so therefor, it is within his control. The police cover what will happen to the student as far as fine, house arrest, or juvenile hall. The principal will cover what will happen to the student’s life concerning attendance.
Actually – My high school has created a bunch of fake accounts, and has been trying to friend everyone who goes there so they can see if the students are posting pictures of themselves drinking, and generally just watch what they are doing. I graduated I years ago and I’ve had about 7 requests by them over the past month.
Also, my college found an open facebook group, that was incoming freshman announcing what alcohol and drug they would be bringing so they could party. The college then promptly expelled all their asses.
pedo alert, pedo alert
ooh she should have deleted the post immediately after lol. I mean granted if the principal was smart she would have taken a screenshot
Dumbest. Post. Ever.
She has to be in jail by now.
He.
the teacher can’t even construct a proper sentence. “do not even come bother coming to school tomorrow.” ???? English teacher fail.
This has to be one of the biggest fails ever! HAhaha what a loser!
http://www.worldbuzznow.com/the-facebook-status-update-that-got-a-student-expelled-from-school/4287
it isn’t fake, u twits.
why did the head teacher accept? its against the law to add the teachers, we have been told this all the time, as the teacher might lose their jobs
Maybe where YOU are.
Yeah, no. There are actually very few places where it is against the law, and most of those places don’t enforce it.
WTF is a “head teacher”? GTFO Brits.
WTF is a “principal”? GTFO Yankees.
See how stupid and arrogant that sounds? Doubt it.
What “Law” is this, exactly?
It’s all over the net, and fact-checking confirms it’s true. Just google it.
That being said, you’d have to be one hell of an idiot to add teachers/principals/family on Facebook if you’re an underage kid. Good luck having fun when everyone who could get you in trouble knows what you’re doing.
Your only an idiot if you add “teachers/principals/family” and have something to hide from them. Some people aren’t as bad as the typical teenager, and it doesn’t matter for them.
Again, you’re assuming David added his principal/teachers. It’s possible he just failed to change his privacy settings.
faaaaaake.
Sure is grammar-Nazi in here…
PAHAHAHAHA!! wat an idiot
Fake… That’s not legal. Failbook Fail… And no, no double negative.
Are you trying to say it’s impossible to post something illegal?! Man, I would love to live in your fantasy world!
A public school employee with bad grammar? Truly shocking. Poor stupid kid probably has good reason to want to slit her throat.
i think this is fake, because you’re not allowed to add teachers and staff at your school
You don’t have to add them. Facebook & Myspace both allow registered teachers to view and post on pages registered to their students.
hello….his FB account could be public, meaning anyone on FB can see it. He doesn’t need to add the principal for her to see his comments; even if he has “friends of friends” viewing she may have been able to see it. Duh. really.
All you “fake” screamers piss me off:

http://el-comentario.com/general/the-status-update-that-got-a-student-expelled-from-school/
Although the expulsion is might possibly get overturned.
And to those that say you can’t “friend” school officials; have you looked at the laws, statutes and regulations for every county in the country? Becasue I know in my area there are no such rules, laws, or regulations. In fact the KIPP school in my area encourages it (along with home visits [not just for "bad" students] home/cell number distribution, and social gatherings between students and teachers)
I like how you guys are debating over this. But it seems that almost NONE of you actually properly researched it so you guys can put this to rest. I’ve tried researching it, but the sources don’t seem to be reliable.
Sources: http://www.techjackal.net/internet/2010/04/03/facebook-status-moves-student-to-expelled-status/
http://www.nhatky.in/the-status-update-that-got-a-student-expelled-from-school-12348990
There are inconsistencies; the first source says that “he would kill his English teacher”, and the FB status does say the kid will kill his teachers, but his main priority is the principal first…
There ARE consistencies within the sources, however.
Can anyone find more reliable sources so we can finally put this to rest?
I think after the police search his house and raid his bedroom expulsion will be the last of his worries.
And on what reason would they raid his house? He never said he had some bomb in his house is was going blow up the school with, nor that he was going to shoot up his school(meaning that he probably ha(d/s) a weapon in his house), so nothing in his house is going to help the police “bag” this guy anymore than his post, which is sufficient enough ‘evidence’ to get rid of him. No judge in her right mind would sign a search and seizure warrant.
He made threats against the lives of teachers and his principal. At best, it’s reasonable suspicion. At worst, it’s probable cause.
wait a second a woman shouldnt be a principle
Just like you should be allowed to make comments or even speak? Oh wait…
If you’re going to insult an entire gender, at least spell your words correctly.
dude almost all the PRINCIPALS (check your spelling before you argue that one) in my school district and the surrounding areas are female. just because women couldn’t do much a CENTURY ago doesn’t mean anything now. and this argument is completely beside the point in the first place
I love how the principal types everything out in complete English.
Oh yeah…many of you assume that Kathrine is the principal…if you look at the sources they all say she is an ENGLISH TEACHER and is just stating that the principal can find out about this. So yes, students can add teachers on Facebook. Hell, all of my middle school students added our gym teacher.
Just wanted to clear things up (:
The Orlando Sentinel is a real and credible source. The idiot did post that status update, he was expelled and he may face criminal charges. He is a senior in high school and if he’s 18, he will face felony terrorism charges.

Failbook is so popular people actually come up with such unintersting and obviously FAKE ideas, it makes me sick!
Seriously, you people really believe this is true????
EPIC FAIL TO ALL YOU GUYS
Principal OWNAGE !!!!!!!
Oh lol. Around here a principal would absolutely do this – and have the cops pay an unfriendly visit at the same time. Fuck First Amendments. In this land you make a threat, you get a charge and get tossed. So there.
@Beepeawee The First Amendment says we have full right to say what we want…
…That does not mean (<— Note that) we will not get unpunished for it.
I had someone threaten my life before and i really wish this kid was in jail right now, sad part is that he’s my girlfriends brother. and if i had him locked up she’d never date me again.
If they’ve threatened your life seriously and your girlfriend takes his side, she’s not someone you want to keep around.
If I was his friend on facebook, I would say the following..
*clears throat*
“HEY, DON’T TOUCH ME THERE, DON’T TOUCH MY NO-NO SQUARE! WORD!”
Are you Jourdan from Gulfport High School, or anyone who knows him at all? I know I’ve heard that before!
It’s apparently from “The Rape Song.” I’m not sure if I should YouTube that or not…
This is fake, first off. letter aren’t that dark on facebook… therefore meaning it was painted over. Then, the principle doesn’t even know correct grammar. nobody ever pays attention anymore.. *sighs*
*facepalm*
First, I didn’t see any grammar or spelling errors in the principal’s reply.
Secondly:
This is fake, first off (This is fake.). letter aren’t that dark on facebook… therefore meaning it was painted over (Letters aren’t that dark on Facebook, which means this was modified on paint.). Then, the principle doesn’t even know correct grammar (Lastly, the principal doesn’t even know correct grammar!). nobody ever pays attention anymore.. *sighs* (Nobody ever pays attention anymore. *sigh*)
You dont have to add your principal for them to see your post…. Most schools have access to the Facebooks of students in their school network…
All you folks claiming this to be fake are OWNED. This is true and was a very stupid thing for the kid to post regardless of intent.
yeah it’s fake, everything on here is. dosen’t mean it isnt funny.
Steven,
You do know you can use different default fonts in your browser right? And the font set showing through on IE8 will look different than FF3?
Whether this is real or not, which I’m pretty sure that this isn’t just one big lie going around the internet because you can find stuff about this pretty much anywhere if you type it in on google. Anyways, whether it’s real or not, I’m pretty sure the Principal would have the right to expel the student.
As the Principal said, death threats are no joke. Whether or not he was joking or not, you aren’t supposed to make death threats. It doesn’t matter about the fact that this happened outside of school. The fact of the matter is, that it happened. If a student is threatening to kill the Principal, and other faculty, I’m pretty sure she has the right to expel him.
People are saying something about the Principal having bad grammar. Well, just because she’s the Principal, automatically means she has to have good grammar? Now maybe it would be a little different if it was an English teacher.
Why can’t students and teachers be friends? That would be really stupid if they couldn’t be.
Also fake fake and faker just got burned by Steven. Haha. Good one.
fake! teachers aren’t meant to add their students until they graduate
Is it physically impossible to read the goddamn comments?
I’m pretty damn sure that they are unable to read them… -sighs-
Good experience to all those who read this. Once you leave the comforts of home, posting things on social networking sites CAN be used against you in regards to job placements and job security.
To all those above who are arguing about laws prohibiting Facebook adds between students and faculty, ask yourself this. Breaking a law constitutes in a fine or arrest. If a faculty member adds a student, do they get arrested or lose their position? Loss of position means that there is most likely a school policy in place as opposed to a county law.
Many jobs, especially corporate, DO look for you on the internet once you apply and send in your resume. Easy way to judge if the character and personality matches for the job. Learn privacy settings, or create multiple accounts, one for personal life and one for work.
oh shut up! in my opinion i dont think its fake BUT im not debating o it because this is posted for entertainment!!!! goodness.
I like how everyone’s main problem is that the Principal couldn’t expel him. I think the more obvious flaw is that the principal would never have him on Facebook in the first place.
Err… what right does the principal have to stop him from having a Facebook account?
Previous comments. They are your friend.
-pats Xenon- Don’t worry. There’s still some competent folks you can rely on in the Cheezburger Community.
this is a fail at a fail due to the fact that if teachers add students on facebook or have them as friends they are liable to prosecution
Look up. And up… and up and up and up. No-one cares.
Wow, I can’t believe how many times that argument has been used, people really should read previous comments before they post their own…
Unfortunately these are two things that many people, especially on the internet, seem to lack.
she can be allowed to expel him out of school she cannot discipline him out of a school setting. He was expressing something on a personal website, that most likely he would never do.
Plus isn’t it kind of against a teachers ethics if they are friends with students on facebook
it is just not a good idea to have these kind of interactions outside of the classroom
i meant CAN’T**** be allowed to expel him out of school
” Do not even come bother coming to school tomorrow ”
Am I the only one who questioned this?
I noticed it as well.
granted i stopped reading the comments about half way down this page but…
this is most likely NOT a fake…and also-who said this was even in the USA…facebook is world wide.
and also, this kid could quite possibly have been charged with making a death threat. people have been fired from employment for complaining about their bosses. even in australia someone was taken to court for slander/defamation for saying the company who she used to work for( ie her ex-employer) was useless… http://www.3news.co.nz/Fired-for-Facebook-comments/tabid/412/articleID/160223/Default.aspx
and just recently in New Zealand a boy was arrested and charged for making a death threat to someone at his school. you want proof? http://www.3news.co.nz/Facebook-threat-to-stab-taken-seriously/tabid/423/articleID/162452/Default.aspx
and yes tv3news is a reliable source of information!
also, it is quite possible for a student to be facebook friends with a teacher. teachers are allowed to have social networking profiles. not to mention that if this kid was a dumb( about privacy settings) as most high school students seem to be then the principal would not even have to be friends to see this status update and would have expelled him anyway.
-any typos are due to the extremely freezing cold weather in New Zealand at the moment due to it being 2.30 in the morning causing my fingers to go numb…
and in reply to all those saying is a fake because of the grammer and spelling mistakes…teachers are HUMAN! they make mistakes!
haha that kids great AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
You… can’t actually expel or fire someone for transgressions out of campus/office. If it’s out of school than it’s beyond a principal’s authority. So kind of a double fail really. The student fails for venting on FB where they added their principal, and the principal is arrogant enough to assume she can expel someone for something said at home.
