LOL! CALIFORNIA TEEN GETS SUSPENDED FOR CALLING A TEACHER FAT ON FACEBOOK!

A California high school student was reportedly suspended after updating his Facebook status with rude remarks about a teacher's weight.

High school sophomore Donny Tobolski reportedly referred to his biology teacher, Mr. Cimino, as a "fat a-- who should stop eating fast food, and is a d-----bag" after Cimino assigned his classes three times more homework than usual in December 2010, Mashable.com reports.

Sacramento's Mesa Verde High School was notified of the Facebook post and reportedly suspended Tobolski for one day on charges of "cyberbullying."

According to the San Franciso Chronicle, the American Civil Liberties Union then sent a letter to school authorities asserting that Tobolski had been within his right to free speech when posting the "fat a--" comment to Facebook.

The ACLU reportedly stated in the letter that the school should only discipline students for similar offenses if the speech posed a threat to school functions.

"Schools have an obligation to provide a safe school environment," wrote ACLU lawyer Linda Lye. But "petty comments, insults, ordinary personality conflicts ... don't rise to the level of harassment."

Mesa Verde officials have since reportedly erased the suspension from Tobolski's record.
