Oh look, HS girls suspended for being in a video featuring suggestive dance moves.
The Public HS in question is in an upper middle class, mostly white (some Asian) area. Assuming said video wasn't filmed during school hours or on school property, I smell a Lawsuit coming. Schools fundamentally do not have the right to regulate off-hours behavior of students, even in the Facebook age.

Meh.
I would not bunch my panties about this.
ETA: To clarify, I would not bunch my panties about the creation of the video on school property, with school equipment, etc.

LOL I guess I missed that paragraph. Ooops.
They still might have a case though. Not nearly as open-and-shut, but enough they could probably get the district to back down just from the threat of going to court.
This!

unfortunately, this isn't the case in a lot of areas. See: Suicides in OH and Canada.
And how can getting into a fight in your backyard cause you to get in trouble at school? No snark. I'm seriously wondering how that works.

Yes. I'm sorry that the students were short-sighted. I hate this for them. I am sure, like in my school district, there is a policy that states, "If you are suspended from school within such-and-such amount of time from senior activities, you will be ineligible to attend/participate." It's unlikely that this is a random punishment chosen just to make their lives miserable.
In our school district, there is a window of time before and after school hours and certain distance within school property in which we can enforce school rules. Basically, if we can show that the incident was somehow school related, we can still suspend or whatever. So if the fight was instigated at school but didn't take place until 30 minutes after school hours 2 blocks away (random time frame and distance chosen), we can still deal with it as a school incident.

So this pretty much sums up how I reflect on my high school days. Get out of my head, CG!

I really don't think so. I haven't seen an example of this first hand, so I'm not sure. The only punishments I have seen for things that didn't happen at school were definitely school related.
The police don't always get involved, tho.
I don't think kids have their school in mind when they do stupid shiit. I don't agree with the school getting involved in their personal lives unless, like Sarah said, something happened within school grounds. Like that girl in OH. What happened to her didn't happen in school, but it sure as hell exploded in school.

I am not sure what our policy on fighting outside of school is, but I don't think a fight off school ground can get you in trouble at school here. Like a pp said though, usually the police get involved instead.
I think alcohol and drugs off campus only apply to athletics.
