Legal Actions of School Against a Proxy's Host?

WakefieldHS-students asks: "I attend a public school, Wakefield High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. A friend of mine recently created a site that hosted a web proxy browser. It ran for a few months, and others at our school found out about it. The original domain was blocked by the censorship software the school uses, and it was changed a few times to get around this. Recently, he was forced to take down the proxy, with the threat of not graduating and the taking of legal action by the school. What legal rights, if any, can the school use to ban someone from hosting a website? Furthermore, what rights does the U.S. Government have to censor such websites?"

Re:Ok, now tell us the rest of it

Also if anyone wants to take this up with the administration, email the principal at stakacs@, call at [phone]; ask for Mr. Takacs, or if you _really_ want to cause an impact, try [phone].

If by "no proxy" you mean over port 80, your mom's school district needs to learn what a transparent proxy is and how to set one up.
