Heinous as it is, unless the activity occured using district resources and
during the school day I don't see where an administrator has the legal
authority to take punitive action against the participants.
Yes, serious action does need to take place to stop the bullying, but how
could the court's decision have been any different?

"When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I
can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy
itself." Isaac Asimov (from his autobiography, I Asimov)
And so the moment we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold
into a library, we've changed their lives forever, and for the better. This
is an enormous force for good. Barack Obama, President of the United States
of America
