Free Speech Dispute: Soccer Facebook page with Dan Armstrong – (Retired) Northwestern High School (IN)

July 30, 2018 • By ADInsider

A soccer player, on her home computer, creates a Facebook page intended to parody her coach and her high school athletic director.

The page includes a petition that visitors may sign to encourage that the coach be fired both for incompetence and because of alleged inappropriate contact with players (a falsehood).

The page includes a top ten list characterizing the AD as a sex addict and pedophile with a prison record (all falsehoods).

The page is filled with profane language and photoshopped lewd images of the coach and AD in various states of undress.

The page also includes many disparaging falsehoods and alter images designed to bully other soccer players and students.

Upon seeing the coach and AD at a restaurant, both still unaware of the Facebook page, the player returns their friendly waves with an extension of her middle finger and an expletive that they both hear.

Things to think about...

At your school, with your policies, what could you have done to that athlete?
