All two dozen students who either shared or commented on the post were suspended, even if they didn’t say they were agreeing to the plan. Some students were given the boot for up to 10 days. Parents told WSB-TV that “the principal called the students’ actions a terroristic threat.” School administrators will decide if the suspended students are to be punished further. \[[WSB-TV](http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/middle-school-students-suspended-over-dress-code-f/ngD9m/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2826547/facebook-middle-school-suspended/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2826547/facebook-middle-school-suspended/"},"headline":"This Facebook Post Got 2 Dozen Middle Schoolers Suspended","datePublished":"2014-06-05T13:43:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:23.917Z","description":"Georgia students face suspension for commenting on a Facebook post that encouraged breaking the dress code","url":"https://time.com/2826547/facebook-middle-school-suspended/","keywords":["Education","Newsfeed","Living","facebook","georgia","Suspension","dress code"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/education/","name":"Education"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2826547/facebook-middle-school-suspended/","name":"This Facebook Post Got 2 Dozen Middle Schoolers Suspended"}}]}] ```
