Satan's Web Page
Posted by Paul Szynol on Thursday, November 28 @ 23:02:57 EST Free Expression
The Waterford School District suspended a student in August 2001 after he contributed the following to "Satan's web page".
"Stab someone for no reason then set them on fire throw them off of a cliff, watch them suffer and with their last breath, just before everything goes black, spit on their face."
A federal judge has ruled that the suspension violated the student's right to free speech and due process.

The number one hit on Google for "Satan's web page" is this site, a page about a cute cat who is now "in little kitty heaven."
