Let's say , a student got pissed off with her teacher as the
teacher kept scolding the student for something minor or
unreasonable . The students answers back , and was brought before
the DM . The teacher creates stories to prove the teacher's points
. Or maybe the teacher threw a pile of worksheet or a book to the
student .
As the student doesn't want to be rude or defiant , the student
posted about the incident in her blog . She poured out her feelings
and typed about every single thing the teacher does to prove that
the teacher is bad WITHOUT writing the teacher's name .
The teacher happens to read her blog and brings the topic up .
The teacher then referred the matter to the principal and DM , and
the girl was told to shut down her blog or be prepared to get
expelled .
Do you think that the teacher/principal/DM is simply abusing
their power and position ? Is it reasonable to be not telling the
teacher's name and then have the student's blog to be closed down
?
Tell me what you think about it .
In Singapore, Insinuation can be sued too (even if the
insinuated is 'wrong'). So I think there is enough evidence
to show the student is insinuating the teacher.
In this situation, my allegory is that the teacher is the
superior and the student is the subordinate. Almost like at a
workplace, a superior can bully a subordinate and what can the
subordinate do?
