If the kid should be allowed to openly disrespect school faculty on social media, then shouldn't faculty have the ability to do the same?

What would happen if the teacher responded back to this tweet and said "No, F you kid!" he'd get fired or suspended instantly. You can guarantee the kid's parents would be all over the school board. They'd be going to the media and it would be a huge vendetta to get people canned for that type of remark.

Freedom of speech does not equal anarchy. You have sets of standards and both faculty and students have to adhere to it, otherwise you lose control and the system fails.
