REVERE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A local high school cheerleading captain was disciplined after she sent out a tweet about illegal immigrants.
She says it was a political statement, not a racial one. FOX25 spoke with the teen who says she was taking a page from Donald Trump. Caley Godino is a senior at Revere High School and she says part of their homework is to watch these presidential debates and her tweet was simply about a hot button issue in the headlines.

Funny how the 1st Amendment means a school can't allow kids to pray. But somehow it does not prevent schools from punishing those same kids for exercising their right to free speech.

Did she even use a school computer to twitter the tweet?
They are really stretching how far a school can go here.

"When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor cause the other 90 percent isn't legal," Godino said in the tweet.

Those are not apt comparisons.

Public school. This isn't constitutional, I hope she sues

Yeah, I don't think this is a bill of rights issue, it's a massive overreach of power by a school issue if she made that tweet at her house.

From the article:
I wonder what the "other side of the story" is.
Typically we were never allowed to suspend a student for something as simple as what she said. Especially if it's not a threat to do harm or something along those lines. But people are crazy.

Kelley said, the school did not discipline Caley because of the tweet alone. But because of student privacy, she couldn't comment on specifics.
"I would just say that, not everything you read is a full story of what's happening," Kelley told FOX25.

Maybe she'll get an invite to the White House and free college tuition.

it being a public school has nothing to do with anything.

Was she wrong?

I was about to jump in here and defend her, until I read her tweet. Really? 90 percent are illegal?? And to top it off, she blames her stupid tweet on Trump.
And Darth, kids can pray at whenever and wherever they want. No one is telling them they can't pray silently.
