Journal daveo0331's Journal: Suspended for VIEWING a web site?

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/MYSPACE_SUSPENSIONS?SITE=7219&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2006-03-02-15-08-13

Some middle school kid made death threats against some girl at his school on Myspace, and he'll probably end up getting expelled. No surprise there. But the article also says 20 other students were "20 of his classmates were suspended for viewing the posting." Then later in the article: "Some parents however questioned whether the school overstepped its bounds by disciplining students for actions that occurred on personal computers, at home and after school hours."

WTF???

How did the school even know what web sites they were visiting from home? I wonder if what really happened is they suspended everyone on this guy's friend list.
