Student suing school over Facebook, email searches

http://j.mp/yi6uVA  (CNN)

   "A Minnesota middle school student, with the backing of the American
    Civil Liberties Union, is suing her school district over a search of
    her Facebook and e-mail accounts by school employees.  The 12-year-old
    sixth grade student, identified in court documents only as R.S., was
    on two occasions punished for statements she made on her Facebook
    account, and was also pressured to divulge her password to school
    officials, the complaint states."
