"A federal judge has upheld the suspension of a Seattle-area student involving the production and YouTube posting of a video mocking a teacher. U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman denied on May 22 Kentridge High School senior Gregory Requa's request for a temporary restraining order that would end the 40-day suspension, rejecting Requa's argument that the punishment violated his First Amendment rights.....
The video, dubbed "Mongzilla," questions teacher Joyce Mong's hygiene and classroom clutter. Shot when students secured a hidden video camera in Mong's English classroom, it includes students dancing and mocking Mong as her back is turned and features commentary on how Mong talks to students.....
However, Kent School District said that the punishment was for the classroom disruption that occurred in the production of the video, not for his criticism. According to spokeswoman Becky Hanks, "The video depicted the conduct that was punished."

If it was the behavior depicted in the video that was being punished, why was it not punished BEFORE the video came to light? Clearly, it was the video that was being punished.
Because they are so unionized, there is very little anyone can do about ineffective teachers and even student protests are now being censored and punished.
