![SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT CASE SUMMARY: Hayes v. Lincoln School District
Sherniece Hayes, a junior at Lincoln High School, created a Facebook group on her
parent's computer at her house which she called "SAUG." On the Facebook group page, Hayes
wrote that SAUG stood for "Students Against Ugly Girls." Another student, however, later told the
principal that Sherniece was lying, because Sherniece had told her that the page really stood for
"Students Against Ugly Gina." According to this student, this was a reference to another Lincoln
High School student, Gina McDonald. Sherniece invited 100 students from Lincoln High School
and some other schools in the area to join the group, and 24 people from both Lincoln and other
high schools joined.
Students posted comments and images to the group making fun of Gina. There were
dozens of very mean comments. Many of the students
T
called her ugly, made fun of her acne, and said she
dressed poorly, Some even used profanity directed
towards Gina; for example, one student posted a picture
of Gina's head on a pig's body, with the caption "Proof that
Gina's mom f----d a pig that's why Gina looks like that."
Another student posted a picture of Gina and wrote that
she is "the ugliest girl at Lincoln." A third student wrote, "We need to clean up the mess at
Lincoln let's take out the trash (that's you GINA)!"

Some Lincoln students accessed the page from school computers and left comments
that were very cruel towards Gina. Students also started talking about the Facebook group at
school. One day in the cafeteria, some students, including Sherniece Hayes, started chanting
"Take out the trash! Take out the trash!" while looking in Gina's direction and laughing.
Gina started pretending to be sick so she could miss school. Her
grades started to drop and her parents became concerned. Finally, Gina told
her parents about the page. Gina and her parents complained about the
Facebook group to the school's principal. After an investigation, school
officials determined that Sherniece created a "hate website" that violated the
school's policy against bullying. Sherniece was suspended for 5 days and
received a "social suspension" for 90 days, which prohibited her from
participating in school social events. The suspension also went on her
record which would be reported to any college to which she applied.
Sherniece Hayes sued the school, claiming that the suspension violated her free speech
rights under the First Amendment. The case eventually arrived in the Supreme Court.
