Student Suspended For Tweet Transferring Schools
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) – An honors student athlete suspended over a two-word tweet about a teacher in the Elk River School District will attend school elsewhere.
Senior Reid Sagehorn is talking publicly for the first time about the seven-week suspension that has many students at Rogers High School rallying on his behalf.
The 17-year-old honors student, who is captain of the football and basketball teams, says he only meant the tweet as a joke when he responded “actually yes” to an anonymous post online asking if he ever kissed a 28-year-old gym teacher.
The teacher was cleared of any wrong-doing, but district officials suspended Sagehorn for violating the conduct code for social media.
