Reid Sagehorn has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Elk River School District and the Rogers police chief that alleges his constitutional rights were violated when he was suspended and over a Twitter post. Sagehorn was suspended after he responded to an anonymous tweet claiming he had kissed a young gym teacher. Thinking it was a joke, Sagehorn said he sarcastically replied, "Actually yes." His suspension sparked student protests and emotional comments from concerned parents at school board meetings, and it even inspired a social media campaign to bring him back to Rogers High School. http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/25798367/free-reid-lawsuit-against-elk-river-school-district-police-chief
