I do not understand how anyone could post statements about another human being that were so filthy! The posts these four girls (and yes, I mean girls) made were obnoxious and not only embarrassing to the instructor of the class, but the girls who posted them should feel embarrassed and shamed for writing them as well.
I completely agree that these girls "threaten[ed] the emotional and mental health” of Collins" (who was the instructor). So she was a boring instructor, so what! Everyone has things that they struggle with. Maybe she could have used a bit more training before taking on the role of instructor, but there isn't any method of teaching that would justify someone stating the vulgar things the girls said.
The one girl said that, "I will have a reprimand on my permanent record for seven years,” she added, “so if a grad school inquires into any interactions with judicial affairs or asks on an application if I had any violations that required punishment, this would apply." GOOD! She should have thought about what would happen when she was logging into Facebook and trying to show off to her friends.
In my opinion, these girls need to take some time (maybe until the record is gone--7 years from now) to grow up and really understand the effects of their actions on other people.

The article shocked me as well. I was glad to see that the punishment fit the crime and that the girls were not let off easily.
I completely agree. Hell, I wrote a similar blog. But I really liked the fact that you addressed the one girl's obvious dissappointment with her tainted 7 year record.
Here's what I'd love to say to that girl: Oh, boo hoo, you're wearing a scarlet letter for the next 7 years because you were an a**hole. How do you think that the instructor feels? I have no doubt that she feels bad everyday, and all because she didn't like the class. Here's a thought: why don't you take the time you put in to creating the hate group and apply it to your school work?
