by Anne Collier
An 18-year-old high school student in Great Falls, Montana, was suspended for publishing a web site about "the hottest 10 freshmen girls." A district court judge issued a temporary restraining order to stop the school from suspending the boy, and about 50 of his peers staged a peaceful sit-in in protest.1
