Strange how Facebook can effect lives of School Children. But here, a 13 Year old girl gets suspended from her school for posting on Facebook that she wished Osama Bin Laden killed her Maths Teacher.
Kimberly Dell'isola, the Girl's mother agrees that the comment was offensive, but says ,"She's mortified that she said that, but she's a 13-year-old kid,". She said her daughter was suspended for five days after saying she wished Osama bin Laden killed her math teacher.
"You are denying her an education based on something she did at home. That's my business, not your business," Dell'isola said. The mother holds that the issue is a parenting one, and not school related. She said she expressed that sentiment to Principal Tom Sica. "He just said what she said was really awful. I started laughing and said I agree with you there, but how did it come to you deciding to throw her out of school," Dell'isola said. She said that while her daughter's suspension is over, she has not returned to class out of fear of facing the teacher she made the comment about.
