Project Artistic Freedom

Thomas Jones is a 13 year old student at Holy Cross Middle School, a private school. Using his school administered email address he sends and email to a group of his classmates. In the email he admits that he enjoys listening to music by Ozzy Ozbourne. A parent of one of the students that receives the email reports it to the headmaster of Holly Cross. The headmaster states that this music is completely inappropriate for Thomas and his friends. Without any warning, Thomas Jones is expelled from Holy Cross. His parents are furious that he was kicked out of school for simply sharing his taste in music.

Do they have grounds on which to sue Holy Cross Middle School? Leave us a comment with your thoughts and then head over and check out ours.
