We left Hammond after my 8th grade year. Most of my group of friends from Hammond went to STA, though. My sister was a year ahead of me and did one year at HHS.

Kids are just mean. It's like that in every school. I got picked on when younger, and some of those people became some trusted friends down the road. Kids don't see things as how it will affect things in the long-term. That is why parents need to be involved. They need to step up to the plate and say "Son, what you did is wrong and won't be tolerated". If that doesn't work, as someone said earlier... Those boys need a good ole fashion lesson behind a building.

Private schools have the ability to hold students to higher standards than public schools. They can make them adhere to policies that extend after school hours. If the parents sign off on it, then yes they can be held accountable for it. I imagine that a fairly high percentage of the kids who are "bullied", are not as innocent as their parents think in the matter.

I think in at least 50% of the cases, this is correct.

This was the topic for last year's Louisiana Law Review write-on competition.

I'm not directly involved with either side of this fiasco, but have heard another side of the story. Was told that the little girl was the first to start the bullying situation and that she and her brother were expelled only after her father went to the school and threatened people with harm.
Also, another member of her family similarly bullied a student at St Thomas, causing that girl emotional problems. I guess that they might find their family on the other side of a lawsuit.
I have very fond memories of Holy Ghost School and am sad that this is happening.

Everyone claiming the kids were expelled must not know that they weren't expelled. They were asked to leave because of the parents, mainly the dad making those threats. The parents are nuts and so in return HGS said that their business is no longer welcome. People can say what they want about private schools, but its still a business. The parents agreed to the handbook at the beginning of the year, every year. And the kid picketing was her 21 year old brother. I would of arrested a random 21 year old on the campus of kids hanging out in the carpool area.

Not disagreeing with you sports... 
I've heard the same thing and wouldn't want a 21 year old around causing a distraction and confusion for these elementary age children, either. Her parents may regret what comes out in the wash!

It's not just private schools, either. Court precedent supports public and private schools to hold students accountable for off campus behavior that interferes with the educational process of a school or student.

Not according to Mississippi law. There is a monumental bullying case right now at St Andrews school in Jackson. $40,000 tuition for 3 kids and parents were told to leave. The bully stays since acts weren't at school.
St. Andrews is ranked #18 in schools in America.

Federal ruling regarding a Mississippi case.

Federal district court in Mississippi rules school district did not violate student’s free speech rights by disciplining for off-campus online post
Bell v. Itawamba Cnty. Sch. Bd., 11-00056 (N.D. Miss. Mar. 15, 2012)
Federal precedent
quote:
Based on these legal principles, the district court determined that the free speech claim would be resolved by considering two questions: (1) whether Bell’s song caused or tended to cause a material and/or substantial disruption at school; or (2) whether it was reasonably foreseeable to school officials that the song would cause a material and/or substantial disruption at school. After reviewing that portion of Bell’s lyrics that made the specific allegations of sexual misconduct and threats, the court agreed with the disciplinary committee’s and school board’s findings that Bell’s song constituted “harassment and intimidation of teachers and possible threats against teachers” and “threatened, harassed, and intimidated school employees.” It concluded, “the subject lyrics in fact caused a material and/or substantial disruption at school and that it was reasonably foreseeable to school officials the song would cause such a disruption.”
